Using OMS in SPSS to perform Cohen's d

The below example uses the accompanying SPSS data file GSS1991.sav which comes with each version of SPSS the number of sds difference between male and female mean ages. The labels relating to 'sex' in the below will need to be changed (perhaps by formulating the below inside a macro to input them) so that substititutes for the group labels, Male and Female may be given. In the below we assume Pivot Tables variable labels are show as 'Names' and Pivot tables variable values are shown as 'Labels' (as defined under Edit>Output Labels).
