Any help will be appreciated greatly.
How to add "by group" to the following syntax so that we can have
frequency tables for different groups at one click.
FREQUENCIES
VARIABLES=sex race
/ORDER= ANALYSIS.
Execute.

Depending on what percentages you want to report etc, CROSSTABS will
also work. E.g., for just the counts, try this:

crosstabs sex race by group .

You have to watch out for cases that do not have complete data for all
variables in the crosstabs though. IIRC, they get excluded entirely.

Many thanks to Peter and Bruce. I have tried. It is so cool.
You guys are so nice and so great. But how to end "split file"?

split file off.

When I turn on a split file, I usually immediately type the "split
file off" command on the next line, and then fill in the lines between
the two. I do that because it's easy to forget to turn it off later
(much like forgetting to end a loop in some programming languages).

Dear Peter and Bruce,

I have found the answer: SPLIT FILE OFF.

Thank you guys anyway!
