5.1.2 Listing the data

Once the data has been entered, you could type

PSPP> list /format=numbered.

to list the data. The optional text ‘/format=numbered’ requests the case numbers to be shown along with the data. It should show the following output:

Data List
Case Number	forename	height
1	Ahmed	188.00
2	Bertram	167.00
3	Catherine	134.23
4	David	109.10

Note that the numeric variable height is displayed to 2 decimal places, because the format for that variable is ‘F8.2’. For a complete description of the LIST command, see LIST.
