All the documentation mentions that by default,UNIVARIATE returns the lowest mode in case of a tie (ie, same number of occurrences).  I could find no mention of overriding the default and getting the higher in case of a tie.  Is that not possible?

 

Thanks...

There is a MODES option to specify all possibilities and then you could select the highest? Not ideal but fairly easy workaround.
