OUTPUT EXPORT does not support spv as a target type, because it was designed to convert to other types. What you want is a copy/paste option that targets a new spv file. Alternatively, maybe a doc or html format would suffice.

The other part of the problem is how to select the desired objects whether for copy/paste or a true export. OUTPUT EXPORT does not offer that option.

The SPSSINC MODIFY OUTPUT extension command provides a basis for both of these things, but it would require some custom code unless Excel would do as a target. It has a custom function, customoutputfunctions.excelexport, that is installed with the extension that allows exporting tables selected using the OMS command and subcommand criteria to an Excel file. I wrote that because it was a common use case.

In order to get what you need, it would be very easy to create another custom function that does the selection part according to the OMS criteria using SPSSINC MODIFY OUTPUT. At that point, another small function would be needed to copy/paste the selected items to a new Viewer window and save that to a file in spv or other format.

I can help you with this if you want to go this route. If you do, send me an spv file and the selection criteria for testing purposes.

Hi Jon,
currently I can see two missing options with OUTPUT EXPORT.
- OE does not export to spv format
- OE does not allow selecting objects automatically by syntax

What I need are two output (spv) files. One for users in the academic field
of language testing with selected and relabeled results of the ordinal
logistic regression models (PLUM & GENLIN) only and the other one including
the entire procedures for the statistician itself. So the first one is a
part of the second one. Both of them should be generated automatically by
syntax because of multiple repeating with a lot of different data sets.

Thanks in advance, Hermann
