Sorry, here the the URL I forgot to include: https://www.spss-tutorials.com/spss-date-variables-tutorial/
BTW, you're corresponding with a mailing list (pspp-users@gnu.org)... Not sure who "Al Hollenbach" is.... You're using your laptop which is using MS Outlook 12. I don't know much about Outlook, but probably you have a contact in your address book for "Al Hollenbach" with the email address "pspp-users@gnu.org". You should change the name of this contact to something sensible like "PSPP users email list". Or if "Al Hollenbach" is a contact with a reasonable email address and an alternative email address of pspp-users@gnu.org, then you should delete the PSPP email address from Al's contact information. Or call your IT help desk. -Alan On 4/14/2017 10:54 AM, Alan Mead wrote: > Marc, > > If the manual says it's available, then it's a bug if it's not > working.
