After some more testing, here's what I found out. The fields that I have defined as numeric [ N ] have a lot of records with that field as blank.
So PSPP generates this warning: warning: (columns 12-15,N field) All characters in field must be digits. I knew that was the case so I was setting this parameter: SET MXWARNS=1 This is what causes pspp to stop executing after the first procedure/command. If I use a small test file and SET MXWARNS=1000, then it works. But it will not work with the default of 200. I think as long as you get less warnings than the MXWARNS, then it works. Thoughts on a workaround? I can probably re-code blanks to 0 but there are cases when I need to know if an attribute was 0 or blank. I will try using null value for blanks and see how that works.

But DESCRIPTIVES and CROSSTABS are both procedures that should run without EXECUTE. -- Ben Pfaff http://benpfaff.org _______________________________________________ Pspp-users mailing list Pspp-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-users
