Is there an SPSS command that closes all datasets except a specified one? Something like "DATASET KEEP".
Would make things easier.

No, but this program will do it.
begin program. keep = "DataSet2" import spss, spssaux res, error = spssaux.createXmlOutput("DATASET DISPLAY", omsid='Dataset Display', subtype='Datasets') datasets = spssaux.getValuesFromXmlWorkspace(res, 'Datasets', colCategory="Datasets") for d in datasets: if d.lower() != keep.lower(): spss.Submit("DATASET CLOSE %s" % d) end program. As for Kiril's note, DATASET CLOSE ALL closes all datasets except the working one what it really does is to remove all of the dataset names, which has the side effect of closing all the files except for the active dataset, but it also removes the dataset name from the active dataset, which may be undesirable.

"what [DATASET CLOSE ALL] really does is to remove all of the dataset names, which has the side effect of closing all the files except for the active dataset, but it also removes the dataset name from the active dataset, which may be undesirable."
But presumably, one could follow DATASET CLOSE ALL with a DATASET NAME command to reinstate the dataset name, if it was needed for something. Right?

I find DATASET CLOSE ALL very convenient, all the more that I often
work and like to work with an unnamed dataset

Sure, but one would want to active the
keeper dataset first, as long as you are aware of the behavior.

Yes, that will work if a name is required.

I think DATASET KEEP is a great suggestion! Closing all but one dataset (and keeping its name) is such a routine operation that it shouldn't require more than a single, short command.
The endless DATASET NAME, DATASET ACTIVATE, DATASET CLOSE commands tend to clutter up syntax files sometimes. |

Here you go, clutter no more ;)
****************************************. DEFINE !DATASET_KEEP (!POSITIONAL !CMDEND) DATASET ACTIVATE !1. DATASET CLOSE ALL. DATASET NAME !1. !ENDDEFINE. DATA LIST FREE / X. BEGIN DATA 1 END DATA. DATASET NAME One. DATA LIST FREE / X. BEGIN DATA 2 END DATA. DATASET NAME Two. !DATASET_KEEP Two. ****************************************. |
