- I need to transform some data into standard scores in order to do some
- further analysis. I am not interested in the raw data itself. The only way
- I know how to get standard scores is with the comand/subcommand of
- DESCRIPTIVES variables = list of variables
- /SAVE
- It gives me Z variables, which is great. But it also gives me summary
- stats on the original (unstandardized) variables. I'm not interested in
- _those_ stats, so the result is that it slows down my program and just
- gives me more pages of printout.
-
- I've looked through the advanced guide, but i can't find anything.
- I am using release 3.0
