Hello-
I was hoping someone would answer with a more sophisticated method, but
this is how I handle a similar issue.
Take a look at the OUTPUT commands, which I believe were introduced in
V15.
At the beginning of each project, I create 2 output files via syntax,
like this:
OUTPUT NEW NAME=Tables.
OUTPUT NEW NAME=Commands.
Then I use "OUTPUT ACTIVATE" in my syntax to toggle between outputs,
writing all of my tables to one output and the commands into the other.
For example, when I get to a table that I use to verify data, it looks
like this:
SET Printback=Off.
OUTPUT ACTIVATE Tables.
CTABLES
/VLABELS VARIABLES=VarX DISPLAY=DEFAULT
/TABLE VarX [C][COUNT F40.0]
/CATEGORIES VARIABLES= VarX ORDER=A KEY=VALUE EMPTY=INCLUDE
/TITLES
TITLE="Make sure all are filled in".
OUTPUT ACTIVATE Commands.
SET Printback=On.
When I finish running the project, I have all my tables in one nice
output to look at, and all the commands are preserved in the other, in
case I need more information on an error or to make sure everything ran
smooth.
I hope that helps, I'm looking forward to hearing other methods.

Subject: Showing and Hiding Results with syntax
Hi List,
I am using SPSS 15.0.
Now I'm running a long syntax that produces a lot of tables ("ctable"
command). I control what I will export with the viewer option
(showing and hiding pivot tables, titles, logs, etc.). But I need to
export different kind of objects in different output areas (i.e. from
line 1 to line 100 of my syntax I want pivot tables are hidden, from
line 101 to 200 of the same syntax I want they are shown).
I want to control this with syntax and without interrupting the
procedure, but I am not able. Anyone have any idea?
TIA,
Arnaldo
