I tried using "_" in variable names.

Python 3 removed the split function from the string module, along with a bunch of other functions. But you can use str.split instead. The default separator character is a blank, but you can supply a different splitting value, e.g. str.split(varname, "_") On Mon, Dec 7, 2020 at 12:15 PM Art Kendall <[hidden email]> wrote: I tried using "_" in variable names. |

in the snippet I posted I changed
spssinc trans result = T_Store_Water01 to T_Store_Water12 type=35 /formula "string.split(How_Store_Water, '|')". to spssinc trans result = T_Store_Water01 to T_Store_Water12 type=35 /formula "str.split(How_Store_Water, '|')". received this message Warnings No module named 'str' ----- Art Kendall Social Research Consultants -- Sent from: http://spssx-discussion.1045642.n5.nabble.com/ ===================== To manage your subscription to SPSSX-L, send a message to [hidden email] (not to SPSSX-L), with no body text except the command.

It turns out that in Python 3, str is a class not a module. Although it is automatically available, SPSSINC TRANS does not know that and thinks it is a module and tries, unsuccessfully, to import it. Hence the error. To get around this, you need to add a small wrapper function. First you define a function that wraps the split function. begin program python3. def astr(item, sep=" "): return str.split(item, sep) end program. Then use that function in the extension. spssinc trans result=x y z type=10 /formula "astr(How_Store_Water, '|')".
