More version issues

Tim AT Home
Hey folks!

Like many users on this board I continue to use an older version of SPSS
cause
quite frankly it seems like its the only version I can even remotely get to
run
most of the time - specifically I'm running V14 (all relevant updates).
Even this
crashes fairly regularly invoking python.

But, with another new year comes another attempt to get things running in
the latest
version - now V17 (all relevant updates) (SINCE IM PAYING $1000s OVER THE
YEARS
FOR THIS #$#^$%$ THING and have THREE VERSIONS I HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN ABLE TO
USE) -
and yet more failures.

The machine is running Vista Ultimate 32bit - single core dual processor -
4gig RAM.
Its got office 2007, AVG and really not much else on it or running. I cant
even get
my simple syntax files to run - half a dozen or more attempts are required
IF
I can even get this thing to run from start to finish - which it runs in V14

no problem (no errors or warnings).

This file is nothing more than recodes/ computes/ var/val labelling/ freqs/
desc/
if statements, save and gets etc - nothing spectacular ... I have managed to

'successfully' run  the aforementioned syntax ONCE and after about a dozen
or
more attempts ... and even during that run it produced numerous warnings
that 'another process' was running and this that or the other thing and I
might lose data ... it hangs on recodes,  it hangs on if statements, it
hangs on var/val labelling,  yadda yadda yadda ...

Re: More version issues

SPSS Support
We worked with Tim individually on this issue, but did want to let others know the resolution. The problem is that a large number of log lines are being created during the process and the system is running out of resources in attempting to cache them to the core. This has been fixed for Release 17.0.2, planned for release in March.

Ooops - that got cut off - sloppy fingers

Was trying to offer my appreciation for the efforts of SPSS support - they
contacted me directly
and worked with me to indentify and solve my problem.  Took a while to get
them to see the issue but
that was largely on my end.

SO THANKS - I very much appreciate that effort!

That said - I also want to re-emphasize my concern about the releases of
various versions.  Im still
in a position of having rarely if ever used v15, v16 or v17 due to various
problems that each shipped with.
Im not sure what the solution is - but at some point I want to be able to
use the software I buying.

Re: More version issues

Robert Vallis
In reply to this post by SPSS Support
While on the subject, is there an article or blog entry or some such
that outlines SPSS development model. For example, 'we release a new
version every year and support it with maintence patches for two years.'
Or a past thread where these issues have been discussed?

Also, does anyone know of any other piece of software in the $1500
dollar range that releases new versions every year? Autocad, for
example, seems to take a more careful approach to updates and
introducing new features. Stata is two years. Matlab is slower still.
SAS has been on 9 for a while. The adobe suite just went to 4, but three
was around for a while.


Best,
RV

adding hyphens?

parisec
In reply to this post by Tim AT Home
Hi Listers,

I come asking for syntax...again.

I've got a list of strings:

      180798
      181734
      181893
      182147

and i need to add a hyphen after the 3rd number/character

so it needs to look like:

      180-798
      181-734
      181-893
      182-147

I know someone posted this code at one time... but of course, i didn't
pay attention to it since i didn't need it at the time.  if someone has
this handy, i would really appreciate it.

Thanks a bunch.

Carol
