I am using SPSS Statistics 17 and have the following question
The file I am operating on is called âAd0613759.as3' .
However, it could for example be called Ad0613888.as3'
I want to know how to select both the file and also identify that it is
an âas3â format in a menu select that allows me to choose the file as one
of several and then automatically transfers control to use the âas3â
reader format illustrated below, as opposed to say an âap4â format which
would be a different subroutine. Could both elements be presented as
arguments at the start and how could I code this?
