+The @cmd{RANK} command ranks variables and stores the results into new
+variables. 
+
+The VARIABLES subcommand, which is mandatory, specifies one or
+more variables whose values are to be ranked.  
+After each variable, @samp{A} or @samp{D} may appear, indicating that
+the variable is to be ranked in ascending or descending order.
+Ascending is the default.
+If a BY keyword appears, it should be followed by a list of variables
+which are to serve as group variables.  
+In this case, the cases are gathered into groups, and ranks calculated
+for each group.
+
+The TIES subcommand specifies how tied values are to be treated.  The
+default is to take the mean value of all the tied cases.
+
+The FRACTION subcommand specifies how proportional ranks are to be
+calculated.  This only has any effect if NORMAL or PROPORTIONAL rank
+functions are requested.
+
+The PRINT subcommand may be used to specify that a summary of the rank
+variables created should appear in the output.
+
+The function subcommands are RANK, NTILES, NORMAL, PERCENT, RFRACTION,
+PROPORTION and SAVAGE.  Any number of function subcommands may appear.
+If none are given, then the default is RANK.
+The NTILES subcommand must take an integer specifying the number of
+partitions into which values should be ranked.
+Each subcommand may be followed by the INTO keyword and a list of
+variables which are the variables to be created and receive the rank
+scores.  There may be as many variables specified as there are
+variables named on the VARIABLES subcommand.  If fewer are specified,
+then the variable names are automatically created.
+
+The MISSING subcommand determines how user missing values are to be
+treated. A setting of EXCLUDE means that variables whose values are
+user-missing are to be excluded from the rank scores. A setting of
+INCLUDE means they are to be included.  The default is EXCLUDE.
