A new extension command, STATS ADJUST WIDTHS,
has been added to the Extension Commands collection on the SPSS Community
website (www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral)
under Downloads for SPSS Statistics. This command synchronizes the
widths of selected string variables across different sav files or datasets
in order to facilitate file merging and similar activities. It provides
several choices on how to set the widths and various options about what
to do with the modified files. The command requires the Python Essentials
and should work with V18 and above, although it has been tested mainly
on V21.
Also, I forget to mention in the last
news note that the extension.py file installed with the Python Extensions
has been updated to address a problem that appears sporadically with some
combination of Windows 8 and 64-bit Statistics. If you have not seen
a mysterious error emanating from this module you don't need this update.
If you have, you can get the update from the Python modules collection
on the Community site.
