SPSS Maps (how to eliminate commas in data labels??)

[Charley Trimble]

When using a shapefile (.smz)and the associated data labels for zip codes,
the zip codes appear with a comma, e.g. 79,416, instead of 79416, for
example, when labeling the map.  I've hopelessly tried to get rid of the
comma but to no avail.  The zip code variable is a string so I'm confused
as to why there is a separator that just won't go away.  Please help.
Thanks.

so you managed to render a graph but it contains thousand separator?
You could change the Spss locale to one that does not use a thousand separator, or change the locale (regional settings of your computer).
SET DIGITGROUPING = NO LOCALE = "en_US.cp1252".


Regards,
Albert-Jan

Where did the shape file come from? Did you use the map conversion utility
to create it. I have a number of .smz files with 5-digit zip codes that
render OK.

Does it matter if the locale setting (particularly LC_NUMERIC) before and after the conversion from .shp/.dbf to .smz differ (Either the Spss locale or the host locale)?

I haven't a clue. It's been over a year since I converted one and all the
ones I used come from the US Bureau of the Census.
