Variable List (VARCOMP command)

The variable list specifies the dependent variable and the factors in the model.

• The dependent variable must be the first specification on VARCOMP.
• The factors follow the dependent variable and are separated from it by the keyword BY.
• The covariates, if any, follow the factors and are separated from the dependent variable and the factors by the keyword WITH.
• The dependent variable and the covariates must be numeric, but the factor variables can be either numeric or string.
