MED is a logical format. The standard setting is NMED (false).

MED specifies that a median value for relevant tables is to be calculated and printed.

Format MED takes effect when row questions have label control <V> set or a value distribution table (list all rows) is used.

It is assumed that no record enters more than once into a column. Total rows are not used. Medians can only be calculated if all the rows of a table are included in the calculation.

IMPORTANT: For value distribution tables (list all rows) you must also use format RNA.
