Limite on MITERATE

[albert_sun]

Hi,

I am using "Do for" loop in a SPSS macro, and noticed that the default limit for "MITERATE' is 1000. I can changed this limit to 5000, but the loop still stopped at 3998 and it casued the SPSS crash. Is there any way to get around this or an alternative method to do it?

Do for loop I used. /*!do !i=1 to 5000 blabla !doend*/.

Thanks,

[David Marso]

Albert,
This ran without any issues on Statistics 22.0.0.1

DEFINE mymacro().
!DO !I=1 !TO 10000.
ECHO !QUOTE (!I).
!DOEND
!ENDDEFINE.

SET MITERATE 10001.
SHOW MITERATE.
mymacro .

You need to provide more information on what you are doing?

thanks, David.

I am using SPSS 21, and I already set MITERATE to 10000, however, the loop will stop at 3998, and cause SPSS to crash.

My code also ran WITHOUT issues in SPSSWin 11.5 !!!
Did you run MY exact simple test code to verify it doesn't have something do do with the SPECIFICS
of WHAT YOU ARE DOING in the loop rather than the number of iterations?

When I state YOU NEED TO PROVIDE MORE SPECIFICS I meant precisely that!!!!
You ask for suggested alternatives but fail to provide anything to chew on in order to spit out any suggestions.

Hi, David:

This was the code I sued.

Hi, David

This is the code I used

define !readXML (Level=!charend('/') / start=!charend('/') / end=!charend('/'))

!do !l !in (!Level).

!DO !i=!start !TO !end

get file=!quote(!concat('directory\',!l,'_Raw.sav')).

select if (SeqID=!i).
exe.

write outfile=!quote(!concat("directory\xml_txt\",!l,"_",!i".xml"))
/all.
new file.
!DOEND

dataset close all.
!doend.
!enddefine.


show miterate.
set miterate=3000.

!readXML Level=1 / start=1 / end=8000/.

As I suspected, it has NOTHING to to with MITERATE!
You are trying to open TOO MANY files in a single session!
That is why I requested you run my ECHO code!!!!!

Testcide.
----
DEFINE mywrite().
!DO !I=1 !TO 10000.
TEMPORARY.
SELECT IF (ID=!I).
WRITE OUTFILE=!QUOTE(!CONCAT('G:\TEMP\',!I,'.dat'))/ID var01 TO var10.
EXECUTE.
!DOEND
 !ENDDEFINE.

/*<Create sample data>*/.
DATASET DECLARE tmp.
MATRIX.
SAVE ({T({1:10000}), UNIFORM(10000,10)}) / OUTFILE tmp /VARIABLES ID var01 TO var10.
END MATRIX.
DATASET ACTIVATE tmp.

/* Test call */.

mywrite.

Thanks, David

if I do need to process this many files in one session, how to get around to make it work. Currently I split the loop into every 3000.

I can think of a number of ways but they are beyond what I am willing to share for free in this forum.
