error pane in spss 17

Leo Bakker
Hello,

A couple of days ago there was a question about the syntax error pane, but
till now I have not seen an answer on this.

When opening a syntax, half of the screen is covered by the error pane.
In the options panel I've unchecked this option but it still keeps popping
up every time I open syntax.
Is there a(nother) solution for this 'simple' but annoying problem?

I don't see this large error window, but you can click on the dividing bar between the error pane and the text and resize it however you like.

data handling problem

Cho, Stanley
Hi all,

I have a straightforward data handling problem.  I have data like this:

Area    Time    Count
100     2       20
102     1       30
102     3       10
104     1       20
104     2       40
104     3       20
105     1       10
108     2       10
108     3       10

In other words, I have a certain number of areas, and data for only some
of the time periods.  I need to create a summary crosstab like this:

Area    Count(Time 1) Count(Time 2)     Count(Time 3)
100     0       20      0
102     30      0       10
104     20      40      20
105     10      0       0
108     0       10      10

This should have a simple solution, but I can't wrap my mind around it
right now.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
--S.

It was simple, indeed, provided you know the use of CASESTOVARS (and I
needed quite a lot of time to master it):

* Sample dataset *.
DATA LIST LIST/Area Time Count (3 F8).
BEGIN DATA
100 2 20
102 1 30
102 3 10
104 1 20
104 2 40
104 3 20
105 1 10
108 2 10
108 3 10
END DATA.

* Restructure data *.
SORT CASES BY Area Time .
CASESTOVARS
 /ID = Area
 /INDEX = Time
 /GROUPBY = VARIABLE .

* Replace blanks by 0 *.
RECODE ALL (SYSMIS=0).

* See the result (you can use report, it looks better than list) *.
LIST.

Cho, Stanley
Thanks to everyone for the multiple solutions!  Always more than one way to skin a cat, and I'm sure each approach will come in handy in different future scenarios.

Hi all,

So it seems that Error Pane problem in SPSS17 is not solved yet...

I tried resizing the error pane as Jon recommended. But when syntax file is reopened error pane takes the same size as before - approximately 1/3 of the screen.

It is so annoying......

Re: error pane in spss 17

Maguin, Eugene
Martin,

I don't find the error pane very useful and shrunk it completely. It stays
shrunk if I open a syntax file from within spss but not if I start spss by
double-clicking on a syntax file. I wonder if this description fits your
experience.

Yes, I have a similar experience. The Error Pane does not show up if I open a syntax file through open menu. The error pane always shows up if file is opened by double clicking on a file.
