[Carlos Renato (www.estatistico.org)]

Dear friends of the list

     Is possible run any syntax in the spss automatically when
start the same?

Carlos,

I'm curious what others on the list may have done, but my solution was
the following:

I assembled the the syntax I wanted to run at startup and then saved it
in a file called autoexec.sps.

I set up a desktop shortcut that pointed to that file.  If your Windows
file associations are set up correctly, SPSS will start and open a
syntax window with your startup syntax.  You have to manually run the
syntax, but it's the best I could come up with.

Tell us more about why you want to do this. Have you thought about using a
production job that can be invoked from the command line? What release are
you running?

In versions earlier than SPSS 16, you can write an autoscript that will execute when SPSS starts.

In your autoscript.sbs file, put a Sub name Application_Create()

For example, this sub sets printer orientation to landscape.

Sub Application_Create()
objSpssApp.GetDesignatedOutputDoc.PrintOptions.Orientation = 2 'Landscape
End Sub

You could use the ExecuteCommands api to run syntax at startup.

This mechanism is not available in SPSS 16, but SPSS 17 has a more general solution that includes separate scripts for starting the application andfor connecting to the Server, and it does not rely on the autoscript mechanism.

HTH,
Jon Peck

For those who have a macro library, I am sure this would prove a novel idea.

Hello,

I have 2 years of quarterly mailings to a select list of people (7
million).  Our DM department has sent out different creatives on a
quarterly basis and they are now interested in finding the most
productive sequences of creative that will maximize response.  I thought
about doing so CHAID tress, but I think the timing issue would be
ignored.  Is there a way to do sequential pattern finding in SPSS?  What
suggestions would you have for analyzing the data?

Thank you for your help.

Do you want a scheduled execution or each and every time you launch SPSS?

Dear Friend

     I want to start SPSS and in this moment run and recognize my database
macros, because
with this procedure I will use only the command line of the macros and the
parameters of
each.
