OMS in non-English versions

Bruce Weaver
Administrator
When using OMS in a non-English version of SPSS, do the English output labels still work?  In the code below, for example, will 'Generalized Linear Models' and 'Parameter Estimates' work as they are if one is using a non-English version?  I would just try it, but I don't have access to any non-English versions.  

DATASET DECLARE B.
OMS
  /SELECT TABLES
  /IF COMMANDS=['Generalized Linear Models'] SUBTYPES=['Parameter Estimates']
  /DESTINATION FORMAT=SAV NUMBERED=tnum
   OUTFILE='B'.

Thanks.

Yes, they are. With SPSS 15/Spanish I got almost the same syntax using
the GUI and pasting the code:

- double quotes instead of  single quotes for the words within brackets
"Generalized...")
- default name after NUMBERED is NúmeroTabla_

In that specific example, the output language makes no difference. Command names and subtype names are the same in all languages. They are not translated.

Yes.  It is important to be able to write language-invariant syntax.
Since Statistics is all one package now, if everything was installed, you would be able to use Edit>Options>General to change the UI and output languages (which are set separately).
