Python spssaux2.gencategorylist question

[Juan Pablo Sandoval]

Hi:

I was working with Python's module "spssaux2" and was wondering if there is a workaround to use it as to move "others" in ctables to the botton, BUT using mrsets.

Jon Peck posted this solution for a variable named "store"

gencatlist.gencategorylist('store', [5, 21], 'storelist') spss.Submit("""ctables /table store+instore /categories variable=store [!storelist missing]""")

But I need to change 'store' for a mrsets called "$q8", and the module is stating that since this is a systema variable itwon´t work.

Any ideas?

I am working on an extension command that will provide the functionality of genCategoryList as an extension command so that knowledge of Python is not required.  It will also handle multiple dichotomy and multiple response sets.  I can't promise when it will be posted, but it is well underway.

Meanwhile, maybe this workaround is useful for you?
