TSMODEL and smoothing constant

Michael Stobernack-3
Dear all,

I run a simple exponential smoothing model for one time series called
y by using TSMODEL in the Analyze-menue in SPSS 17. In the output
window I got the results but couldn't find the value of the smoothing
constant which the computer calculated to be the best. Where do  I
find that value and is there any possibility - as in former versions
of SPSS - to force the computer to take a specific value - for
instance alpha = 0.3 - for the smoothing constant? Even in the syntax
for TSMODEL I don't find a way to define that value.

I would be very glad about any hints

Thanks a lot

Michael
