variable values for the group are printed along with the analysis.
When a list of variable names is specified, one of the keywords
-@subcmd{LAYERED} or @subcmd{SEPARATE} may also be specified. If provided, either
-keyword are ignored.
+@subcmd{LAYERED} or @subcmd{SEPARATE} may also be specified. With
+@subcmd{LAYERED}, which is the default, the separate analyses for each
+group are presented together in a single table. With
+@subcmd{SEPARATE}, each analysis is presented in a separate table.
+Not all procedures honor the distinction.
Groups are formed only by @emph{adjacent} cases. To create a split
using a variable where like values are not adjacent in the working file,
-you should first sort the data by that variable (@pxref{SORT CASES}).
+first sort the data by that variable (@pxref{SORT CASES}).
Specify @subcmd{OFF} to disable @cmd{SPLIT FILE} and resume analysis of the
entire active dataset as a single group of data.
Unless @cmd{TEMPORARY} was used, after a split has been defined for
a dataset it remains active until explicitly disabled.
+In the graphical user interface, the active split variable (if any) is
+displayed in the status bar (@pxref{split-status-bar:scr}.
+If a dataset is saved to a system file (@pxref{SAVE}) whilst a split
+is active, the split stastus is stored in the file and will be
+automatically loaded when that file is loaded.
