Part V. Programming SPSS with Command Syntax

Programming SPSS with Command Syntax

In this part. . .

Deep down inside IBM SPSS Statistics, where its heart beats, everything happens because of statements written in the Command Syntax language. With Syntax (as it's known to its friends), you can skip the menus and dialog boxes and issue commands directly to the internals of SPSS. It may sound a bit spooky at first, but it isn't as hard as it sounds. In fact, SPSS will help you write your own Command Syntax statements.
