You might need to preprocess your data counting the event occurences and then use BY HIGHEST n [count_fieldname].

How about this,
Create a new field(Define/Compute) and fill it with '1' then do SUM by EVENTDESC. That should add up all the '1' and gave you a count on how many time an event occured. 

DEFINE FILE WEBFOCUSASAPVIEW2
  STRTEMPFLAG/I5 = 1;
END

TABLE FILE WEBFOCUSASAPVIEW2
  SUM
    STRTEMPFLAG
  BY EVENTDESC
END


hope that helps, cheers~

Search for the functionality of "RANKED" here on focalpoint and you will find many examples on how this can be done.

Try this:

COUNT REPORTID AS '# of report'
BY EVENTDESC AS 'Event'

RANKED AS 'RANK' BY TOTAL HIGHEST 6 EVENTDESC NOPRINT

HEADING
"Event Table"

Maria,

Yuuta's comment is well taken.

If you base your frequency analysis on the sum of a DEFINED field, then you can use IF... statements inside DEFINE/END and COMPUTEs inside the TABLE_FILE/END to set the summed field to either '0' or '1'./ This lets you analyze extremely complex relationships between any two or more columns of data.

Counting the settings of hidden 'flag' fields is a classic programming technique.
