Anywhere to get a download image of SPSS v14

Is there anywhere to download the CD image/zip for SPSS v14?

I am trying to reinstall on my new laptop, but can't locate the original CD.

Any help?

Trouble with a simple, stupid probelm

All,

I have a 6 character string var (HEDLEV) with many missing values. I have
another 6 character string (FICE) which fills in most of the missing
val;ues in the first string. I want to concatenate the 2 such that:

HEDLEV FICE CONCAT
000001 000001
000002 000002
000003 000003
000004 000004
000005 000005
000006 000006
000007 000007
000008 000008

etc.

Please not that I did not do the obvious--turn them into numbers and
simply add across, because I need to keep the 6-character structure
(preceding zeros).

This should be simple. What am I not remembering?

Mark

Re: Trouble with a simple, stupid probelm

Mark,

I'm going to guess you don't really want to concatenate the two
fields. I'd suggest trying

COMPUTE CONCAT=HEDLEV .
IF (CONCAT= '') CONCAT=FICE . /* that's two apostrophes */

What you didn't show in your example was something like
>HEDLEV FICE CONCAT
>000009 000010 ?????????????

Do you want CONCAT to be equal to 000009000010 or to 000009?

My solution would give you the second result. The first result might be
gotten by something like (untested)

COMPUTE CONCAT=concat(RTRIM(HEDLEV),RTRIM(FICE)) .

I don't have SPSS running so I cannot test this.

string newstring (a6).
compute newstring = max(HEDLEV, FICE).

*or*
string newstring(a6).
do if hedlev eq ' '.
compute newstring= fice.
else.
compute newstring= hedlev.
end if.

*or*
if you did it as numbers you could always format the new variable to (N6).

Mark,

here are two options.

Best regards,

Florio

DATA LIST FIXED /HEDLEV 1-6 (A) FICE 7-12 (A).
BEGIN DATA.
000001
000002
000003
000004
000005
000006
000007
000008
END DATA.

STRING CONCAT1(A6).
COMPUTE CONCAT1 = CONCAT(LTRIM(HEDLEV),LTRIM(FICE)).

STRING CONCAT2(A6).
IF HEDLEV NE '' CONCAT2 = HEDLEV.
IF FICE NE '' CONCAT2 = FICE.

EXECUTE.

Doesn't look to me like you're concatenating. Is one of the two variables
always blank?
If so, you could use logic something like this (syntax may not be correct):

COMPUTE CONCAT = HEDLEV .
IF HEDLEV = ' '
THEN HEDLEV = FICE .

I got several different but effective solutions. Thanks all!
