All,
When reading in some kind of a text file, in this case a csv
file, SPSS appears to set column widths based on rows located towards the top
of the file. I do not always know the correct number of columns to alot for a
field. As a result I often discover upon subsequent analyses that fields have
been truncated. Is there some way to ensure that this doesn’t happen,
other than knowing the max column width for all fields in every file I load? I’m
working with 17.0.3.
Thanks
Matt
