Figure 47-7
Single two-dimensional table
 The f
irst three variables identify the source table by command, subtype, and label.
 The tw
o elements that defined the rows in the table—values of the variable
Gender and statistical measures are assigned the generic variable names Var 1 and
Var2 . These are both string variables.
 The column labels from the table are used to create valid variable names. In this
case,
those variable names are based on the variable labels of the three scale
variables summarized in the table. If the variables didn’t have defined variable
labels or you chose to display variable names instead of variable labels as the
colu
mn labels in the table, then the variable names in the new data file would
be the same as in the source data file.
