Several ways of introducing data to SPSS!
1. Type data by yourself and die!
2. Open data file (*.sav) and be happy!
3. Import data from Excel file (*.xls).
4. Import data from Database (via ODBC, etc.).
In the last case, Syntax should look like this:
[Syntax]
GET DATA
/TYPE=ODBC
/CONNECT='DNS=MS Access Database;DBQ=C:\demo.mdb;'+'DriverId=25;FIL=MS Access;MaxBufferSize=2048;PageTimeout=5;'
/SQL =
'SELECT Age, Education, Income'
'FROM GeneralInfosTable'
'WHERE ([Marital Status] <> 2 AND MobilePhone = 1)'.
EXECUTE.
[Syntax]
As we can see that we import data from Microsoft Access Database under certain conditions.
If you want to do the Excel way, you might consider this:
[Syntax]
GET DATA
/TYPE=XLS
/FILE='c:\demo.xls'
/SHEET=NAME 'Income'
/CELLRANGE= RANGE 'A1:K23'
/READNAMES=on.
EXECUTE.
[Syntax]
And if you want to read from a text (*.txt) file use:
[Syntax]
DATA LIST FREE
FILE ='c:\delimited_numbers.txt'
/id (f4) sex (a1) age (F2) opinion1 to opinion5 (5F).
EXECUTE.
[/Syntax]
Or you can - god noooo - type in all the data (directly to your SPSS Data View or you can use smth. like this):
[Syntax]
DATA LIST FREE
/var1(f2) var2(f2) var3(f2) var4(f3) var5(f2) name(a10).
BEGIN DATA
12 22 31 42 51 john
22 23 42 44 21 marry
55 53 32 11 12 fred
END DATA.
EXECUTE.
[/Syntax]

fair enough SPSS lovers..
Back to the syntax; I am hoping someone can anwser this question.
When using a SQL statement via odbc is it possible to make a complex query? My definition of complex would be the use of statement like 'group by', 'distinct' ' etc. or the use of correlated sub-queries (example: SELECT p.product_name FROM product p
WHERE p.product_id = (SELECT o.product_id FROM order_items o
WHERE o.product_id = p.product_id); )
What are SQL the commands that are supported?
WARNING: using this command in any version of SPSS under Windows Vista may cause records to be duplicated or dropped at random.
I am trying to write a syntax for this data (nested data) could you help please rcmoulirc@gmail.com

Can somebody help me in creating a syntax for this example?
pls mail me at rcmoulirc@gmail.com

Could someone please help me with the following 2 issues. Any direction will be greatly appreciated -
(1) let me know of the syntax that would help me copy selected variables (and their corresponding data) from one SPSS file to another?
(2) How do I copy the variable labels from one set of variables into another without needing to run the data dictionary command each time? Is there a syntax I can use?
Another quick question -
For one of my projects I need to create a variable sized vector. That is, I need to be able to say something similar to -
Vector xx (count).
But SPSS takes in a positive integer alone. Is there any way to work around it?
