For detailed explanations of the structure of this table and of the use of denominator definitions, see A Closer Look . The asterisk in the row dimension indicates that the statistics that follow in parentheses are nested within the values of Occupation and All to form sets of rows. Each set of rows includes four statistics:
  1. N, the frequency count. The format modifier (F=9.) writes the values of N without the decimal places that the default format would use. It also extends the column width to nine characters so that the word Employees fits on one line.

  2. the percentage of the row total (row percent).

  3. the percentage of the column total (column percent).

  4. the overall percent. Text in quotation marks supplies the header for the corresponding row. A comma separates the row definition from the column definition.

            *(n='Number of employees'*f=9.
              pctn<gender all>='Percent of row total'
              pctn<occupation all>='Percent of column total'
