AW: insert a page break in SPSS output for Word format

[Mongan Laszlo]

Art,

thank you for your answer.

Sure I know about <paste>. Unfortunately, INSERT and PAGE BREAK in the output-file does not offer that option. Also there is no entry in the journal.

And
do if $casenum eq 1.
print eject.
end if.
only produces two empty lines in my Word-Output (and before an empty log-field in the SPSS output). Or is there a trick?

Regards,
Laszlo

I don't get a new page in Word either.    Washington is about to be hit with another major storm.  If I have electricity tomorrow I'll work with this some more.
If I recall correctly PRINT EJECT has forced a new page since version 2 in 1972.

try this syntax after changing the file destinations.  Check the results to see if you get what you want and let me know.

new file.
INPUT PROGRAM.
LOOP id=1 TO 30000.
COMPUTE x = rnd(rv.uniform(.5,25.5)).
COMPUTE y = rnd(rv.uniform(.5,10.5)).
END CASE.
END LOOP.
END FILE.
END INPUT PROGRAM.
FORMATS id (F3.0) x y (f2).
do if $casenum eq 1.
print eject.
print /'say something before the frequencies'.
end if.
FREQUENCIES vars = x y.

do if $casenum eq 1.
print eject.
print/ 'say something after the frequencies'.
end if.
DESCRIPTIVES vars= x y /STATISTICS = all.
do if $casenum eq 1.
print eject.
print / 'say something after the descriptives'.
end if.
do if $casenum eq 1.
print eject.
end if.
FREQUENCIES vars = x y.
do if $casenum eq 1.
print eject.
end if.
DESCRIPTIVES vars= x y /STATISTICS = all.
do if $casenum eq 1.
print eject.
end if.

[Jon K Peck]

How about just running
TITLE ''.
That inserts an empty title with a page break.

As a more general solution, the SPSSINC MODIFY OUTPUT extension command has the ability to insert page breaks in front of any output objects selected by the command.
