dynamic creation of upper bounds of vector
 
|
I am trying to create a vector whose upper bounds change. I am using a macro. Here is a simple version of what I am trying to do:
compute #UpperBounds=Cellsize.
DEFINE ExperimentalMacro (arg1 = !TOKENS(1) !concat("vector MadeUp(",!arg1,").") !ENDDEFINE. ExperimentalMacro arg1 = #UpperBounds.
The above code, of course, doesn’t work.
In other words, I want to run a line saying: Vector MadeUp(<whatever value of Cellsize is>).
Does anyone have any tips?

Hi John It is not completely
clear what you want. It looks like you want to create a vector that refers to variables
MadeUp_1 to MadeUp_<Whatever value of CellSize is>. Maybe the following
syntax helps you to get you on the way for what you want. Hope this helps,
Christian DATA LIST LIST
/CellSize(f8.0). BEGIN DATA 2 3 4 END DATA. compute
#UpperBounds=Cellsize. Do if $Casenum =
1. + Write Outfile 'C:\Temp\Temp1.sps'
/"DEFINE !ExperimentalMacro()"/'vector MadeUp('#UpperBounds').'
/"!ENDDEFINE.". End if. Exec. Include 'C:\Temp\Temp1.sps'
. !ExperimentalMacro. **********************************

Thanks very much for your response. This is similar to what I am looking to do, but not quite. What I want to do is to be able to capture a number which will be the upper bounds of a vector, and then use it to either create or declare a vector in a case where I won’t know the value of the upper bounds variable until the program runs.
So compute #UpperBounds = 10.
Would be used to create a vector that would be the equivalent of
ExampleVector(#UpperBounds) To equal: ExampleVector(10). Or ExampleVector=ExampleVector1 to Concat(“ExampleVector”,String(#UpperBounds,F8.0)). To equal : ExampleVector=ExampleVector1 to ExampleVector10.

What about this
solution? Hope this helps, Christian DATA LIST LIST
/CellSize(f8.0). BEGIN DATA 12 END DATA. String MyVector
(A200). compute
#UpperBounds=Cellsize. Format
#UpperBounds(F8.0). COMPUTE myVECTOR
= CONCAT('Vector = ExampleVector_1 to
ExampleVector_',RTRIM(LTRIM(STRING(#UpperBounds,F8.0))),'.' ). Exec. Do if $Casenum =
1. + Write Outfile
'd:\Temp\Temp1.sps' /"DEFINE !ExperimentalMacro()"/myVector
/"!ENDDEFINE.". End if. Exec. Include
'd:\Temp\Temp1.sps' . !ExperimentalMacro. Von: SPSSX(r)
