Hi Ben,
An excellent Idea. I'll send you a subset or an Eurobarometer survey which
is public.

Re: seeking a good data set for CTABLES examples

Here is one data set that seems to suit the purpose:
https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/2008-national-survey-of-drinking-and-driving-attitudes-and-behaviors
It's not perfect because the variable names are poor (they are simply
named for question numbers) and because a lot of the variables have a
wrong measurement level, but I'm going to start from it.

Please feel free to send me more data sets.

Here's an example of what I can do currently with this dataset and CTABLES.
Syntax:

CTABLES /TABLE QN105BA[c] + QN105BB[c] + QN105BC[c] + QN105BD[c]
/CLABELS ROWLABELS=OPPOSITE.

Output:
