There’s probably something really obvious that I’m missing, but I am running descriptive statistics on several variables, using the default statistics set with the addition of the SUM. All of them are formatted as Nominals, however the resulting sums and max values appear to be rounding up to the nearest 100 billion (or 1 billion in the case of the first variable). Calculating the sums by multiplying N times the mean value produces what appear to the be the correct values. Below is the syntax, the output, and example of how one of the variables was defined. Any thoughts as to why the sums are rounding will be appreciated.
