There’s probably something really obvious that I’m missing, but I am running
descriptive statistics on several variables, using the default statistics set
with the addition of the SUM. All of them are formatted as Nominals, however
the resulting sums and max values appear to be rounding up to the nearest 100
billion (or 1 billion in the case of the first variable). Calculating the sums
by multiplying N times the mean value produces what appear to the be the
correct values. Below is the syntax, the output, and example of how one of the
variables was defined. Any thoughts as to why the sums are rounding will be
appreciated.
