     I am experimenting errors with AGGREGATE with version 0.10.1-g1082b8 of

Or is it a bug?
     
     Here is our syntax.
     
     *

     * Aggregate PVIREAD statistics by PROVINCE.
     * PV1READ is a variable from the PISA 2009 data file for reading 
achievement.
     * PROVINCE is a previously created variable for the Canadian sates.
      AGGREGATE
       /OUTFILE=* MODE=ADDVARIABLES
       /BREAK=PROVINCE
       /PV1READ_MEAN = MEAN(PV1READ)
       /PV1READ_SD       = SD(PV1READ)
       /PROVINCE_N       = NU(PV1READ).

Thank you for your report.

Can you give the _complete_ syntax including the data definition so that we can 
try to reproduce the problem.

Please also post the result you get, *and* the results that you expect, AND say 
specifically why you think the results you see are incorrect.

That way, we can investigate, and decide if indeed there is a problem, and if so
we can fix it.

Thank you.
