Re: PYTHON script fails

Mario

I'd fix the following things first, and then see where you are.

1. You haven't indented your while block
2. Instead of str(i), str(j) etc use string substitution, ie the %s operator
to build your spss command strings.
3. The first statement after import is redundant, the variable is
overwritten on line 5.

PYTHON - Get name of active dataset

In reply to this post by Mario Giesel

How can I retrieve the name of the active dataset from within Python
(version 2.4, SPSS15)?

Thanks if you can help.

Re: PYTHON - Get name of active dataset

The spssaux module has a function, GetDatasetInfo() that can return this.

getDatasetInfo(Info='Data')
Return selected information on the current active dataset. Value is empty if none.

Info can be
Data name of the active file (empty if unnamed)
Filter filter variable or empty
Weight weight variable or empty
SplitFile comma-separated split variable(s) or empty
If there is no active file but there IS a dataset name, the dataset name is returned.
Except for Data, the form of the information returned depends on the SPSS Output Labels
preference setting.

HTH,
Jon Peck

Hi,

The code below may be a bit easier to read. I used underscores to indicate indentations.

Cheers!!

COMPUTE rang = 999.
IF ($CASENUM = 1) rang = 0.

BEGIN PROGRAM PYTHON.

for i in range(spss.GetVariableCount()):

___spss.Submit("""

IF (rang=999 AND $CASENUM = %(i)s ) rang = %(j)s.
IF (rang=999 AND $CASENUM = %(j)s ) rang = %(i)s.
""" %(locals))
END PROGRAM

Re: PYTHON script fails

Albert,

Try %(locals()) instead of %(locals)
