automated reports with SPSS Syntax

Avonia Richardson-Miller

Hello group, I am pretty much new to SPSS Syntax and have minimal past experience using SPSS point and click in the past. I have a question about using syntax to produce full reports with SPSS. I'm using PASW SPSS version 17.

 

Is there a way to generate a full report using SPSS Syntax Program?

 

This report requires data analysis to compare survey data. Generally we look at aggregate means of 2 groups data identified as best practices benchmarks and we compare an individual company's rating to those groups. I know this can be done using syntax program…

 

We also provide a graph output of the data analysis. I know this can be done suing syntax program…

 

The report includes text that provides an overview of the comparison, identifies gaps, and sets forth recommendations for closing that gap. MY QUESTION IS: Can the selection and output of this text be automated through SPSS Syntax if we compose the text in advance and use some sort of DO If -- END If command? If I'm totally off target here, please advice me of any possible way to achieve the desired end result. Is SPSS capable of producing full reports or do you have integrate it with other programs to get that end result?

 

 

Thank you,
