Another option -- if the cases are being dropped because of listwise 
deletion of the missing data, then you can do something like

corr y x1 x2 x3, means

using the same variable list on the -corr- command as you do on the 
-regress- command.  Both -corr- and -regress- do listwise deletion of 
missing data.  The above will give you the means, correlations and standard 
deviations (also the min and max of each variable) which are the most 
commonly sought descriptive statistics.
