[Ben Pfaff]

Thanks a lot! What is the license for the data?

Hi Ben,

This is a shortened Flash Eurobarometer 383 survey from September 2013 which includes a multi-response variable

Q9 Which of the following are reasons why you own or used to own a firearm?

and some accompanying socio-demographic  nominal, ordinal and scale variables,

with n = 26,555 in 28 countries.

I shortened the labels for the multi-response question Q9 so that you can produce a readable table.

See attached save file and the questionnaire.

I am looking very much forward to your implementation of CTABLES.

Regards,

ftr

Here's an example of what I can do currently with this dataset and CTABLES. Syntax:

CTABLES /TABLE QN105BA[c] + QN105BB[c] + QN105BC[c] + QN105BD[c]
    /CLABELS ROWLABELS=OPPOSITE.

Output:

Here is one data set that seems to suit the purpose:
https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/2008-national-survey-of-drinking-and-driving-attitudes-and-behaviors
It's not perfect because the variable names are poor (they are simply
named for question numbers) and because a lot of the variables have a
wrong measurement level, but I'm going to start from it.

Please feel free to send me more data sets.
