Trying to learn it myself I bought one. It is not great but it gives you
the basic commands to explore your files. The SPSS reference manual is
not that great either. The one to make tables is decent though...

Management.

tomorrow).

Dear all,

I would really like to become proficient at using SPSS syntax to perform
my analyses rather than relying on the GUI.  Aside from using the
'paste'
command in SPSS and learning from there, can anyone recommend a good
book
which I can use as a reference/guide while I learn?

Many thanks,

Lou

Lou and Fermin,

A couple of recommendations:

For data management, definitely check out this book by Reynauld Levesque (a
distinguished and long-time member of this list):
http://www.spss.com/spss/data_management_book.htm

Andy Field has written a good statistics book that is integrated with SPSS.
http://www.amazon.com/Discovering-Statistics-Introducing-Statistical-Methods
/dp/0761944524

HTH,

Hi Stephen and Fermin,

>Stephen: I'll definitely check out your suggestions

>Fermin: I actually have the book by Boslaugh, but I just find it a bit
disorgansied.  If you can find what you're looking for, it's not bad, but
I can't always find the thing I'm looking for!

Thanks to you both for your help,

Lou

Yes, I had high expectations based on the title but it fell short. I
will check the references given by Steve.
