Subtitle with more than 60 characters

[drfg2008]

I would like to add comments in the output viewer with more than 60 characters. "Title" and "subtitle" allow only a limited number of characters (60). I could use "Subtitle" repeatedly, but try to avoid it.

IIRC, there's a TEXT extension commands that allows you to insert text blocks in your output. You could insert the entire Webster's Dictionary if you like, e.g. more than 60 chars.

well, I hope so, but can't find the command syntax.

[John F Hall]

Try:

 

COMMENT ' <your text> ' .

 

You might need to put a + at the beginning of continuation lines

comment works like the *

the text does not appear in the viewer.

[Albert-Jan Roskam]

But isn't that just another way of commenting syntax, for many people often use asterisks?

 

Another option might be the ECHO command. Not sure about the max number of chars though.

ECHO accepts max. 60 characters, like subtitle ' '.


it seems there is no command for more than 60 characters to appear in the viewer (?)

Comment text appears in the log block, where it is not very obvious.

The TEXT extension command is available from the SPSS Community site (www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral).  Look in the extension commands collection.  It produces a separate text block in the Viewer and can be any size.

Ok, found the solution:

- I first missed the point wit "TEXT".

TEXT "this is the text  this is the text this is the text "+
    "this is the text this is the text this is the text  "+
    "this is the text this is the text this is the text ."
/OUTLINE HEADING="Hypothese 1"
TITLE="Comment".


Thanks!

Note that it is not necessary - or even a good idea - to concatenate the strings with the +.  If you do that, you are limited to the maximum Statistics literal length, and the text will all be run together.
If you just specify a set of quoted strings, each will appear on a separate line, and there is no limit on the length.
