Figure 3-19.  Sample Frequency Distribution


The Frequency Distribution option generates a frequency
distribution for a single variable.  You can have frequency
count, percentage, and cumulative count/percentage for each
value of the variable included on the report as well.  The
frequency distribution report helps you determine what types
of values will be encountered during initial data analysis
(for example, report ABEND code frequencies).

Figure 3-19 is a sample frequency distribution showing the
number of transactions by CICS system (CICSID).  The report
is generated by weighting each occurrence of CICSID by the
number of transactions (CSYTRANS) that occurred on the
system.

To create a frequency distribution, select the Frequency
Distribution option from either of the following menus:

o  Direct Inquiry Statistical Analysis Menu
o  Structured Inquiry Statistical Analysis Menu
