New Data Set Opening When Syntax is Opened

Andrew Rudd
Hi All,
 
I've just installed the recent version 17.0.2 patch and aside from the
interesting name change I've noticed that if I have a data set open and
then I try to open a syntax file a new SPSS window opens.
 
I can only open syntax files by the file —> Open syntax to prevent a
new SPSS opening.
 
Has anyone else come across this and is there a setting or something
that I can change to prevent this?
 
Thanks
Andrew

I get the same thing.  Also opens a new SPSS iteration when you double click a file name in Windows Explorere (My Docs).
It did not open a new iteration if I double clicked a second time--i.e. I double-click one file and a new iteration starts, I double click a second file and it opens in the same iteration that just opened.
 
Looks like this patch is still not quite there.

Re: New Data Set Opening When Syntax is Opened

Conlon, Dan (DSHS/HRSA)

I found this to be true in SPSS 17 (prior to the 17.0.2 patch).  I called SPSS Support about the problem (opening a syntax file using Windows Explorer results in a second session of SPSS). The response (below) was not particularly helpful:

 Subject: call to customer
in v17, if you open spss syntax file outside of spss, a new session of spss will open. If you open a syntax file in SPSS via file open syntax, it will not start a new session of spss. closing case

In other words, as far as SPSS is concerned, don’t use Windows Explorer to open syntax if you’re concerned with having multiple sessions open.

What if you use Windows Explorer to drop the file onto an SPSS window?

Re: New Data Set Opening When Syntax is Opened

Conlon, Dan (DSHS/HRSA)

Sorry, I wasn’t precise enough in my hurried response. I should have stated the problem occurs when I double-click on the file in Windows Explorer. That is the manner in which I always opened files in previous versions of SPSS (V15 and earlier). That approach always worked in the past – but not in V17.

Now, as ViAnn suggested, it looks like:

1) Right Click, 2) Open With, 3) PASW Statistics    on the file in Windows Explorer opens a second syntax file within an already open SPSS session (without starting a second session).

testing significance of squared semi-partial correlations

Hideko Bassett
Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me on testing significance of squared
semi-partial correlations in multiple regression. I heard that a p-value
of the beta is the same with the p-value of the squared semi-partial
correlation for the same predictor. Is it true? Or is there a formula I
should use to test whether the squared semi-partial correlation is
significant?

Any advice will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Hideko
