Going from syntax back to the creating
dialog would be wonderful, but unfortunately it is not possible.
Except for a few special situations, such as database queries and text
file specifications and a few procedures that create xml plan files, it
is only one way: from dialog to syntax.
You can build syntax that has plug-in
parts that refer to macros, so they can be changed centrally, or you can
do this with programmability, but you have to figure out what to parameterize.

[SPSSX-L] CTABLEs
dialog to syntax and back
Sent by:

I have a question about the GUI of SPSS.
I can create CTABLEs with a really nice dialog in it. And from out if
it I can create the syntax-code with the Insert-Button in it. Great!
And I can alter the table on and on again and create new syntax-code
out from it. But it work only for one table.
I create more than one CTABLEs with it and saving the syntax of them.
Then I figuring out that something is wrong with the first CTABLE. So I
want to change something in it.
Of course I can touch the syntax-code itself. But maybe there are some
users that are not so easy with the syntax.
How can they "refill" this syntax-code in a CTABLE-dialog. Other
words: How can I re-create a CTABLE-dialog from existing CTABLE-code?
I hope you can understand my bad english with it.
Is it possible?
