help in SPSS reading the import delimited text file
Hello everyone, i have question please.
I have imported text file which contains numeric and string. the problem is the string names doesn't show in its full name, there are missing characters in it. i clicked in Variable view and i changed the string characters to 4, because the maximum word such as ICMP is 4 characters. i saved the work, restart the SPSS, the string characters is 4 but I see ICMP as ICM, which means there is a missing character the 4th one!! if i open the file in notepad or excel i can see the full name. any help
Thanks
*sorry i could not find the SPSS in the search to match my topic

SPSS selection some records and save it on another file
Asked by: reoroman
Hello everyone. I want to ask question regarding SPSS or if we can do the same work in EXCEL.
suppose i have file which contains 500000 records and in spss it looks like this
v1 v2 v3
2 3 1
23 34 2
43 5 1
34 6 3
okay... so in V3 there are only 1, 2 and 3 numbers which means something to me.
i want to take 1000 records from v1, v2 which only belong to number 1 in v3. and save it on my desktop..
how can i do that?
thanks
