measure type changing

Rajeshms
Hi All,

I am running a huge syntax built by me. The problem is while generating some tables,I had pasted the syntax by changing the nominal data to scale data. But when I run all at once I am facing the problem as while running manually we cant change the measure type.if I do so I am getting an error "WWB Processor has stopped working" ,and I ahve found that its coming only after the excecution of the table syntax. hope am right.

So my problem is to write a syntax for changing the measure type from nominal to scale ,so then I can run my syntax witout error.

Re: measure type changing

John F Hall

Help >> Command Syntax Reference

Scroll down to VARIABLE LEVEL

 

Manual page 2154 says:

 

VARIABLE LEVEL varlist ({SCALE }) ... [/varlist...]

{ORDINAL}

{NOMINAL}

This command takes effect immediately. It does not read the active dataset or execute pending

transformations. For more information, see the topic Command Order on p. 41.

Example

VARIABLE LEVEL sales95 sales96 (SCALE)

/region division (NOMINAL)

/expense (ORDINAL).

 

Easy when you know how!  As David Marso never tires of saying, always RTFM.

See VARIABLE LEVEL in the Fine Manual (Help - Command Syntax Reference Manual).

There are a lot of details missing here, but the error message indicates that you have some Basic script running that is failing.  This could be an autoscript that you created or something run with the SCRIPT command.  There could be a synchronization problem with the script or a deadlock, but diagnosing that would require more details.

You can, of course, set the measurement level using the VARIABLE LEVEL command or, if this is CTABLES, you can set the measurement level for the purposes of that command with the [S] notation in the table expression.
