Setting maxwarns to a large number presents a different problem. My file
is
well over 255 million records and pspp generates a error statement for each
record/variable that contains blanks if it's defined as numeric. So the
pspp
would generate an enormous report.
I tried using SET BLANKS=0 or other data transformation to convert blanks
to
0 within my pspp syntax file but it seems that the error is generated as
soon as it reads the data before anything else happens. Does this mean
that
I have to first process the file outside of pspp to convert blanks to 0?Probably it does :( Until the MXWARNS issue is fixed, I suggest you work around this with a fifo. Something similar to mkfifo mypipe; sed -e 's/ */0 /g' datafile > mypipe Then you can instruct pspp to read from the fifo: DATA LIST FILE='mypipe' ...
