Hi @David Dwyer, thanks for answer. I'm not able to open a case in support portal... I work only in Unicode mode so `SAVE CODEPAGE` is always ran not in codepage mode. As I said in my previous post, literally there are no warnings and errors indicated.

Hello. From time to time I have to export datasets to local encoding. Normally, I work in Unicode mode, on version 29. Since version 26 or 27 2 strange bugs have occurred. First, when the `SAVE CODEPAGE` command is finished, the file simply doesn't appear in the same directory where the original dataset ...

The problem is that converting pivot table's XML chart to dictionary (not exactly JSON) won't be compatible with StatJSON schema. So in fact I can't do anything meaningful with either XML (can't 'reupload' chart to output window) or JSON (first I need to convert it to StatJSON but the documentation is ...

Thanks Jon. This special formatting mostly deals with relocating some values from columns to rows, deleting certain columns and - most importantly - merging proportional comparison test into one table (`CTABLES` syntax does not offer satisfying results, not to mention that when results of comparison ...

I have a set of custom tables where each table has to be formatted individually. I'm writing a Python script. I've managed to extract XML chart (in other words XML script) for each table however, I can't find a way to insert formatted XML to output window. Is there any solution? I'm aware of `OUTPUT ...

I had to segment some data, so I ran TWOSTEP CLUSTER command around 2 months ago and saved results. Today I opened this file again, accidentally sorted it, ran TWOSTEP CLUSTER again and got much different frequencies for each segment. Syntax was essentially the same (both in terms of selected variables ...

Hello. Since June this year I've used SPSS 28.0.1.0 (142). It seems that SAVE TRANSLATE command may be bugged. I would like to create a single spreadsheet of a dataset containing two sheets - with values and second with labels. When I run the second instance of SAVE TRANSLATE with the same file path ...

Hello. I'm developing a script which contains both `SpssClient` API and spss API. This script first gets a filename of the opened active dataset (using SpssClient) and second, starts performing operations using spss API. Note: SpssClient and spss instances are not nested meaning all spss API operations ...

I'm asking about option to not include hidden rows/columns in Excel output. Now, when I run OUTPUT MODIFY data still exist in Excel but are hidden (which is unconvenient while, for example, copying). ------------------------------ Konrad Gałuszko ------------------------------

Hello. I'm preparing CTABLES with many divisions both in columns and rows so I need to make tabulations more readable, clear. I would like to delete rows/columns with base less than 30. Since version 27 it's become possible to hide data based on condition using OUTPUT MODIFY. However, when I export those ...

In my organization we use a quite complicated method to get maxdiff results with the use of external tools. Is it possible to do it only in SPSS? I'm not much into statistics and more complicated analyses because most of the time I do custom tables BUT I think maxdiff can be done by CONJOINT command. ...

Hi Jon, thanks (as always). Still, do you confirm that the only SET alternative is PRINTBACK for DisplayCommandsLog? What about other alternatives mentioned - are they correct? ------------------------------ Konrad Gałuszko ------------------------------

Hi, I'm writing a script to customize viewer elements visibility before running tabular report syntax. Python has many options to set visibility but I'm wondering how many of this elements can be turned on/off via SET syntax (or other commands)? Important: I'm aware of OUTPUT MODIFY command but it ...

Hi Rick, the fix works fine with SPSS 27. It seems this bug was not solved in version 28 but the fix designed for version 27 also works. There's still a little issue. Replacing the original spsswctl.dll with the version 27 fix raises #9021 warning: ​>Warning # 9021 >The version of the SPSS Statistics ...

OUTPUT CREATE is a very fresh innovation available since SPSS 28. In my opinion the documentation is rather laconic and describes only basics. However, I think it may be a very useful feature and that's why I'm asking for more details. So...: What was the main reason to introduce this command ...

Hi Jon. The document is here: Writing IBM SPSS Statistics Extension Commands. Concerning code, I corrected this line.
