15.7.3 Statistics Positions and Labels
/SLABELS
[POSITION={COLUMN | ROW | LAYER}]
[VISIBLE={YES | NO}]
The SLABELS subcommand controls the position and visibility of
summary statistics for the TABLE subcommand that it follows.
POSITION sets the axis on which summary statistics appear.
With POSITION=COLUMN, which is the default, each summary statistic
appears in a column. For example:
CTABLES /TABLE=age [MEAN, MEDIAN] BY gender.

POSITION=LAYER is also available to place each summary statistic in
a separate layer.
Labels for summary statistics are shown by default. Use
VISIBLE=NO to suppress them. Because unlabeled data can cause
confusion, it should only be considered if the meaning of the data is
evident, as in a simple case like this:
CTABLES /TABLE=ageGroup [TABLEPCT] /SLABELS VISIBLE=NO.
