The values of the descriptives statistics are identical to the values that would be provided by the “Descriptives” procedure.

The variables in the data set can then be used for subsequent calculations.

APA Style

Standardized scores are typically NOT presented in the summary of the data. Rather, they are often a first step in the calculations. As such, APA style is not presented here.
