Syntax runs fine but not with INCLUDE or INSERT :-(
 
|
Dear all,
The syntax below runs fine on its own. However, if I try to include it with INCLUDE or INSERT in a 'Master syntax', it doesn't work. INCLUDE renders error messages related to the OMS command (or at least it seems) and INSERT seems to have trouble with switching between the different datasets. Does anybody understand what's going wrong and how to fix it? Admittedly, I don't have any previous experience with either INCLUDE or INSERT. TIA! Ruben van den Berg P.s. I'm sorry about all comments being in Dutch! ***Syntax: DATAS CLO ALL. GET FIL 'F4341_3A.sav'. DATAS COP alldata. DATAS ACT alldata. MATC FIL FIL alldata /KEEP INTNR V150_1 to V150_171.

I
think you must indent the subcommands. Besides, I think you have one
extra "." in the middle if the OMS command (right after
"OUTFILE=LABELS"). See if my modified version works Regards, Marta Modified syntax:

INCLUDE uses
batch syntax rules. INSERT uses interactive rules by default and is generally
preferred. The syntax below
includes comment lines that are not terminated by a period. They will
therefore absorb the following command. So while it might run, it probably
wouldn't do what was intended. Remember that *-style
comments are commands and need to be terminated like any other command. HTH, Jon Peck From: SPSSX(r)

INCLUDE doesn't work because your syntax doesn't adhere to batch rules, which require that command continuation lines be indented.
To diagnose the INSERT problem, it would be helpful to have the specific error message -- but keep in mind that relative paths in file specifications are relative to the current application working directory, which may not be what you think it is, unless you use the CD command to explicitly set the working directory.

For some tiem I have been using the Soble test as a test of mediation effect. A reviewer recenlty commented that Sobel recently (2007??) described errors with mediation analyses and with his well known test. I have not been able to locate a citation for Soble in which he points out these error and I wonder if others out there know of and can point me to this work. Thanks William N.

Look for Kris Preacher’s site at University of Kansas. I know
that there are three different formulas for standard errors for the Sobel test
but I have not heard about these so-called errors. Preacher also has a macro
for bootstrapping mediation effects and this is more powerful. Also Davis
MacKinnon’s site has good information on alternatives. Dr. Paul R. Swank, Professor and Director of Research Children's Learning Institute University of Texas Health Science Center-Houston From: SPSSX(r) Discussion
