Output Style and Font

[Robert Marshall-7]

I am using a standard SPSS package.  I want all of the tables to be in 12 font and Times New Roman.  Is there a simple way to do this?  I don't use syntax.

Hi Team, this might be asked earlier and is frequently asked question but I am unable to find complete solution. On the Raynald's site I could find the following syntax but somehow I am getting an error. All the variable names, length and type are same in both the files. Ultimately I want a file differences in any variable be listed with id and variable name. I would appreciate your input and I am sure this will also help many of the users.

Thanks in advance.


/* Compare two files and lists all differences */
/* Simon Freidin 09/05/2006 */
/* Cases are matched by ID */
/* Output is variable by variable. */
/* Typical output: */
/* ID var1_old var1_new */
/* */
/* 32747 3 2 */
/* 32676 4 5 */
/* 36472 2 3 */
/* 47699 5 4 */

set printback=no mprint=no length=none.

file handle oldfile /name='substitute path and filename'.
file handle newfile /name='substitute path and filename'.

define checkvar (!pos=!tokens(1)).
match files file=oldfile /rename= (!1=!concat(!1,'_old')) /in=inold
  /file=newfile /rename= (!1=!concat(!1,'_new')) /in=innew
  /keep=!concat(!1,'_old') !concat(!1,'_new') ID
  /by ID.
sel if inold and innew.
/* select cases in both files */
display labels var=!concat(!1,'_new').
sel if !concat(!1,'_old') ne !concat(!1,'_new').
list /ID !concat(!1,'_old') !concat(!1,'_new').
!enddefine.

/* drop ID and variables not in new file here */
/* drop any other variables you don't want to compare */
get file=oldfile /drop= ID .
n of cases 1.
oms /destination viewer=no.
flip.
omsend.
write outfile="c:\temp\checkvar.sps"/"checkvar " case_lbl ".".
exe.
include "c:\temp\checkvar.sps".

Edit>Options...

Select "Pivot Tables" tab and then choose a default Table Look, such
as "Times Roman.tlo".

If this is not perfect, refer to the help system for guidance on how
to create a Table Look to match your needs (see Base System>Pivot
Tables>Changing the Appearance of Tables)

What error? Where in the code does it occur?
