If COL and ROW specifications are missing then the following
default layouts are used:

If there are at most one object variable then the first grouping va-
riable is treated as a column variable and the second grouping variable
as a row variable. All other grouping variables are considered as
background variables.

If there are more than one object variable then the object variables
define the columns and the first grouping variable the rows. The other
grouping variables are handled as background variables, i.e one table is
produced for each combination of the values of the background variab-
les.

Example: Computing a two-way table for means, deviations and cell
frequencies using default layout:

 MTAB IEADATA,END+2
 VARIABLES=Knowldge
 GROUPING=Attitude,Sex

The table produced by the MTAB operation:

 Means, Deviations and Frequencies
