Recently I switched over to version 16 and have discovered a couple of
issues. This is one I thought I would share with the list and see if
anyone has a suggested solution.
My dataset includes dates that are string (mm/dd/yyyy). I convert
these string variables into date variables by running the wizard and
the following syntax to create dd-mmm-yyyy.
* Date and Time Wizard: BirthDate.
COMPUTE BirthDateR = number(BirthDate, ADATE10).
VARIABLE LABEL BirthDateR "Date of Birth (SPSS)".
VARIABLE LEVEL BirthDateR (SCALE).
FORMATS BirthDateR (DATE11).
VARIABLE WIDTH BirthDateR(11).
EXECUTE.
When I use the same dataset and run a frequency in V15 of the date,
the output looks like dd-mm-yyyy; however, in V16, the output is
different (i.e., yyyy-mm-ddT00:00:00.000). I have tried to correct
this by adjusting the cell format in the pivot table view; however,
that has not solved the problem. I should note that in dataview
(V16), the data are displayed as dd-mmm-yyyy. Any suggestions would
be helpful.
Thanks,
Damir
