Re: Stop Button

[Janet dozier]

Is there a "interupt" button or "kill switch" key combo that will stop the execution of an SPSS program?

Thanks

Ctrl-period (or Ctrl-full stop in British English, which makes perfect sense
in this case.)

Greetings,  Would someone tell me how to do an absolute value in SPSS.
I have a set of numbers that I have imported numbers that have an
embedded comma.  Spss makes them missing as a numeric.

2,155.00
2,155.00
1,080.00
1,830.00
1,030.00
2,155.00
1,130.00

Thanks

open a clean instance of SPSS.
Copy the syntax below and paste it into a syntax window.

click <run> <all>.
If this is not what you want please explain in more detail, perhaps
making up a set of data with 2 columns: what you have and what you want.


data list list /myvar (comma8.2).
begin data
2,155.00
2,155.00
1,080.00
1,830.00
1,030.00
2,155.00
1,130.00
-2,155.00
-2,155.00
-1,080.00
-1,830.00
-1,030.00
-2,155.00
-1,130.00
end data.
compute myabsvar= abs(myvar).
LIST .
