             CROSSTABS
                    /TABLES= age  BY origin [BY sex]
     
     but it doesn't. 

The notation in the manual uses square brackets to indicate optional components.
So in your example, the "BY sex" part is optional.  You can either write:

             CROSSTABS
                    /TABLES= age  BY origin.

or

             CROSSTABS
                    /TABLES= age  BY origin BY sex.
