Output Window Information Question?

[Juan Pablo Sandoval]

Hi:

 

How can I control the information displayed on the SPSS Output window? I want to be able to cancel information messages, such as "Flip created such variables", OR "vartocases created x info" etc.... What I want is only and estrictly display error messages and echo sent via sintax.

 

What I want is that each time the Output windows displays a message is when an error in sintax or logic was detected. or because I wanted it by specifying it with the echo command.

 

Regards,

I don't have SPSS on this machine, so I can't test.  But this might work:

OMS /DESTINATION VIEWER=NO /TAG='suppressall'.

And then, when you want output again...

OMSEND.
