It must be a real handicap in doing your work is you
cannot get on listserv lists, forums, etc.
The listserv SPSSX-L uses is very very old. I guess nobody at a
university or agency has volunteered to bring the archives to
his/her system.
UGA has not updated its listserve or archives in a long time. They
are running version 1.8d. The current version is at least 15.0.
[this is surprising since lists are very helpful in educational
settings. UGA's page says it has 2000 lists!]
[hidden email] is
where to send a message to the list manager.
I am including the list to see if others can help you.
I seem to recall that the problem of non-standard email has come
up before. Does anyone on the list know
1 -- how someone who uses Lotus Notes can send _ordinary email_
without privileges?
2 -- what Thara should ask the IT department to set the overall
parameters to? or
3 -- what Thara should ask the IT
department to set the her/his parameters to?

Hi Art
I sent a message to the SPSS list
and
I get the following message.
I do not have the administrator's
email
address. Can you sent it to me please?
Also my agency uses IBM Lotus
notes
as the official email software. I personally cannot change any
settings
or
features on it.
Your posting to the SPSSX-L list has been
rejected
because it contains an
attachment of type 'MULTIPART/ALTERNATIVE'. The SPSSX-L
list has been
configured to reject such attachments; please contact the
list
owner at
[hidden email] for more information.
Can you help me please? There is
no
other way I can access the list serve.
I am not authorised to use the
SPSS discussion list through the internet since it is forum.
many thanks
regards
thara

Hi Maurice, David and Art
Thank you so much for helping me with the syntax to calculate
'average
annual percentage change in SPSS'.
My apologies if i was not clear in explaining what i wanted to
calculate.
I wanted to measure the avgchange over the 5 years.
Art - the syntax you sent me worked perfectly. This is
extremely useful.
You are absolutely right in your observation that the average
change and
annual growth rate can be different.
Prior to sending my request to the list I managed to calculate
it as
follows using Excel:
which translates to this in my Excel file
=(C9/C5)^(1/5)-1
I was wondering if there is way in SPSS to do this without the
aggregate
process.
many thanks
thara
