Dear subscribers,
I am totally confused about using SPSSINC SELECT Variables, because its not working as I supposed it would do. So I am asking for your help hoping someone has an answer. The problem is that after defining a macro list of variables (criteria is numeric) and using it in Missing Values command SPSS tells me that there is an unknown variable so the command breaks up. After a few try and error steps it seems to be that somehow the variablelist within the macro is cut off by a distinct number of character which could be something around 600. Interestingly, the option Print shows me a full list of variables without a cutoff. My question is: is it possible that the length of the variable list is determined by the width of the syntax window so not infinite variables can be stored in such a macro? Thanks a lot, Malte |
The macro definition is being truncated
by the macro buffer size because of the large number of variables. I
have posted a new version (1.2.1) that fixes this problem to the SPSS Community
site. You can download it from that site (www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral)
in the Extension Commands collection or directly in V22 via Utilities >
Download and Install Extension Commands. Remember to do this running
Statistics with Run As Administrator if you are on Win7 or similar.
