Stars for Significance and OMS

Georg Maubach
Dear Listers,

we are using OMS to write correlation output to a SPSS data file. The
correlation procedure produces two stars (**) to indicate significance.
Is there a way to keep this information in the SPSS data file written
with OMS?

Best regards

Re: Stars for Significance and OMS

Peck, Jon
The N and Sig values are part of the sav dataset created by OMS.  You may find it easier to work with, though, if you have OMS pivot the table, however.  Here is an example using the cars.sav file shipped with SPSS.

dataset declare georg.
oms /if subtypes=['Correlations']
/destination outfile=georg format=sav
/columns sequence=rall.
CORRELATIONS
  /VARIABLES=accel engine horse
  /PRINT=TWOTAIL NOSIG
  /MISSING=PAIRWISE.
omsend.

HTH,
Jon Peck
