I was informed off-list that adding "print eval." would produce all of the eigenvalues. I'm all set. Thanks. -Ryan p.s., For those interested, I wanted to obtain the randomly generated eigenvalues to illustrate that the mean and 95th percentile provided in the output from the parallel analysis could be obtained by calculating the mean and 95th percentile of these eigenvalues.

Hello:

When one performs a parallel analysis, a.k.a., eigenvalue Monte Carlo (MC) simulation, using the syntax on this website:

https://people.ok.ubc.ca/brioconn/nfactors/rawpar.sps

The eigenvalues that fall on the 50th percentile and 95th percentile for each component/factor are automatically saved and plotted. I've been playing about with the syntax to figure out a way to save all eigenvalues associated with each component/factor generated from the MC simulation, but so far I have been unsuccessful. 

Any ideas as to how to obtain all eigenvalues associated with each factor would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
