Fisher's Exact Test Value Not Produced

Glenys Lafrance
I'm using Version 13.0.  I'm doing some 2x2 crosstabs and requesting FET.
Most of the time I have n > 200 < 300; and often expected cell frequencies
<5.  The output does not include the FET value, but it does include the p-
value for FET.  The p-values are .000.  Since I'm need to use FET for a
great deal of my dissertation analysis, I want to be able to explain to my
committee why I can't use it in some situations.

CROSSTABS
  /TABLES=q17E  BY q17I
  /FORMAT= AVALUE TABLES
  /STATISTIC=CHISQ PHI CORR D BTAU CMH(1)
  /CELLS= COUNT ROW COLUMN TOTAL ASRESID
  /COUNT ROUND CELL
  /BARCHART
  /METHOD=EXACT TIMER(0).

Chi-Square Tests
  Value df Asymp. Sig. (2-sided) Exact Sig. (2-sided)
 Exact Sig. (1-sided) Point Probability
Pearson Chi-Square 68.856 1 .000 .000 .000
Continuity Correction 65.655 1 .000
Likelihood Ratio 60.260 1 .000 .000 .000
Fisher's Exact Test    .000 .000
Linear-by-Linear Association 68.552 1 .000 .000 .000
 .000
N of Valid Cases 227
a Computed only for a 2x2 table
b 0 cells (.0%) have expected count less than 5. The minimum
expected count is 10.74.
c The standardized statistic is 8.280.

It seems that the Exact Tests module performs as expected most of the
time, but not for these tables?  If its not a problem, is there an
accepted way to report the p-value without the FET value?

Thanks in advance,
