The -auto- option to-input- which accomplishes this feat is just a
shorthand version of -encode-. So use that and see whether -statsby- works
properly then...

My original dataset contains millions of data. Is there a way to bypass
the "input" command and use something else? Or should I switch to version
9 or 10 for this?

-help whatsnew- mentions that there was an issue with strings in
the -by-
option to -statsby- which were fixed between version 8 and 9. So make
sure
you use my -input- command given earlier so that numeric codes get
passed
to
the -by- option...

This is so strange. I have added the clear option to my command but it
still does not work :-(
