Hello Jan,
You must type the full path: For instance: "C:\Myfiles\ThisProject\ThatSubmap\Myfile.sav".
Alternatively: what I usually do is start each syntax job with the command:
CD "X:\MyLocation".
Of course you change it to the correct data location.
You can now GET and SAVE to that location without adding the full pathname
(There is an alternative by using FILE HANDLE).
Actually my CD (Change Directory) command is usually followed by:
DATASET CLOSE ALL.
Because I seldom need more than one data file at the same time.
Good luck
Antoon

Onderwerp: Syntax for outfile
Hi,
What I want: a new file with just the variables listed in the code below
that is located where I want it, and opens at the end of the program so
that I can see the results.
What I tried: I used this syntax but the outfile was saved in a location
I don't want.
AGGREGATE
/OUTFILE='AGGRTest.SAV'
/BREAK= EmpStat1 MaritStat1 HousStat1 RaceEth11 RaceEth21
EdLevel1 Rx_source1 Trans_yn1
/N_BREAK=N.
I tried changing the default location using edit->options->specified
folder-> and change the location for both data files and other files but
that didn't work so I added the following line
Save OUTFILE="C:\Jan\PhD\PhD_analysis\VStudy1DT/AGGRTest.SAV".
Now it saves AGGRTest.SAV over my original datafile (with all of my 150
original variables) and adds the variables listed above to the end of
the file. It does open automatically when I run the program.
Thanks,
Jan
