WAYS list;

Required Arguments

list

specifies one or more integers that define the number of class variables to combine to form all the unique combinations of class variables. For example, you can specify 2 for all possible pairs and 3 for all possible triples. The list can be specified in the following ways:

	m
	*m1 m2 ... mn*
	*m1,m2,...,mn*
	m TO n <BY *increment*>
	*m1,m2,* TO m3 <BY *increment*>, m4

Range:	0 to maximum number of class variables
Example:	To create the two way types for the classification variables A, C, and C use class A B C ; ways 2; This is equilavent to specifying ab, ac, and b*c in the TYPES statement.
