Notes

None of these automatic processing functions work for numeric fields defined with the (NV) suffix.
When you invoke some of these automatic functions, a SORT statement must be included in the run because the processing of some of these functions involves preSORT computations.
The (PC) and (TL) suffix codes require preSORT totalling; these preSORT totals may include records that are rejected after the SORT. In addition, computations occurring after the SORT are not reflected in the calculation.

Example:

If the following statements are included in a given run:

COMPUTE(P) FIELDA = X	Computation occurs preSORT.
COMPUTE FIELDA = Y	Computation occurs postSORT.
LIST FIELDA(PC)

The LIST statement displays a percentage for value X only.

All of these suffix codes and suffix codes (CT), (DF), and (DL) are mutually exclusive. They cannot be specified together in an individual reference for a particular field. They can, however, be specified in different references for the same field.
