Hi,
 
Google for SPSS programming and Data Management by R. Levesque and IBM. Be sure to pick an edition (maybe the 3rd?)
that goes with your spss v17, because if you pick the latest edition not all the sample code will work.

Albert-Jan

Re: SPSS

Pravin Daud
Hello Albert- Jan,

Thank you so much for your help..:) I downloaded the book but it mostly talks about Data Programming, which  i am a bit naive about and do not want to get into programming nightmare. I want to use SPSS for simple data manipulation, processing and extraction. So would you please recommend some more content which would help me to understand SPSS from scratch??

Thank you,

Pravin

Re: SPSS

John F Hall

Have a look at the SPSS tutorials on my website.  They start from absolute scratch with a simple exercise in questionnaire completion, then proceed gently step-by-step with full colour screenshots at each step through data capture, data management and data analysis.  They use syntax in preference to point-and-click, but many examples and exercises are performed using both.

 

See: http://surveyresearch.weebly.com/spss.html

Hi Pravin, you can't get simpler than:

Kirkpatrick, Lee & Feeney, Brooke. A Simple Guide to SPSS for Windows. Thomson, Wadsworth.


This is one of the many text out there for simple GUI manipulation of SPSS.  I use it with social work students in my research classes, where students come into the class with great fear and trepidation related to statistics and the technicality of statistical software.
