== Usage ==

{{{
compute Total_Sales = sum(Sales, Total_Sales).
leave Total_Sales.
}}}

----



== Data Model ==

The `LEAVE` command is queued as a pending transformation.

`LEAVE` status is reset by many commands, such as [[SPSS/Compute|COMPUTE]] or [[SPSS/Logic#Conditional_Processing|IF]]. It should be programmed in the shortest possible structure, directly after the commands for which the effect is essential.
