Razzak's message about the LISTOF option piqued my interest. I noticed that STDEV and VARIANCE were listed as some of the aggregate functions. Are these new options that will be available in the upcoming in-line patch? I know they are available via the COMPUTE command. That would be wonderful if they were also going to be part of the SELECT command. Part of my job is doing statistical analysis. I currently use AVG, MAXIMUM, and MINIMUM for some of my analysis but then I have to use a loop to calculate the STDEV. Or am I missing something?
