4 Commands that don't fit any other category are placed here.
6 Most of these commands are not affected by commands like @cmd{IF} and
8 they take effect only once, unconditionally, at the time that they are

47 @cmd{ADD DOCUMENT} adds one or more lines of descriptive commentary to
48 the active dataset. Documents added in this way are saved to system files.
49 They can be viewed using @cmd{SYSFILE INFO} or @cmd{DISPLAY
50 DOCUMENTS}. They can be removed from the active dataset with @cmd{DROP
53 Each line of documentary text must be enclosed in quotation marks, and
54 may not be more than 80 bytes long. @xref{DOCUMENT}.
64 This command is accepted, for compatibility, but it has no effect.
70 @cindex changing directory
76 @cmd{CD} changes the current directory. The new directory will become that specified by the command.
84 Two possibles syntaxes:
85 COMMENT comment text @dots{} .
86 *comment text @dots{} .
89 @cmd{COMMENT} is ignored. It is used to provide information to
90 the author and other readers of the @pspp{} syntax file.
92 @cmd{COMMENT} can extend over any number of lines. Don't forget to
93 terminate it with a dot or a blank line.
102 DOCUMENT @var{documentary_text}.
105 @cmd{DOCUMENT} adds one or more lines of descriptive commentary to the
106 active dataset. Documents added in this way are saved to system files.
107 They can be viewed using @cmd{SYSFILE INFO} or @cmd{DISPLAY
108 DOCUMENTS}. They can be removed from the active dataset with @cmd{DROP
111 Specify the @var{documentary text} following the @subcmd{DOCUMENT} keyword.
112 It is interpreted literally --- any quotes or other punctuation marks
113 will be included in the file.
114 You can extend the documentary text over as many lines as necessary.
115 Lines are truncated at 80 bytes. Don't forget to terminate
116 the command with a dot or a blank line. @xref{ADD DOCUMENT}.
118 @node DISPLAY DOCUMENTS
119 @section DISPLAY DOCUMENTS
120 @vindex DISPLAY DOCUMENTS
126 @cmd{DISPLAY DOCUMENTS} displays the documents in the active dataset. Each
127 document is preceded by a line giving the time and date that it was
128 added. @xref{DOCUMENT}.
130 @node DISPLAY FILE LABEL
131 @section DISPLAY FILE LABEL
132 @vindex DISPLAY FILE LABEL
138 @cmd{DISPLAY FILE LABEL} displays the file label contained in the
140 if any. @xref{FILE LABEL}.
142 This command is a @pspp{} extension.
145 @section DROP DOCUMENTS
146 @vindex DROP DOCUMENTS
152 @cmd{DROP DOCUMENTS} removes all documents from the active dataset.
153 New documents can be added with @cmd{DOCUMENT} (@pxref{DOCUMENT}).
155 @cmd{DROP DOCUMENTS} changes only the active dataset. It does not modify any
156 system files stored on disk.
163 ECHO 'arbitrary text' .
166 Use @cmd{ECHO} to write arbitrary text to the output stream. The text should be enclosed in quotation marks following the normal rules for string tokens (@pxref{Tokens}).
173 ERASE FILE @var{file_name}.
176 @cmd{ERASE FILE} deletes a file from the local filesystem.
177 @var{file_name} must be quoted.
178 This command cannot be used if the SAFER (@pxref{SET}) setting is active.
189 @cmd{EXECUTE} causes the active dataset to be read and all pending
190 transformations to be executed.
197 FILE LABEL @var{file_label}.
200 @cmd{FILE LABEL} provides a title for the active dataset. This
201 title will be saved into system files and portable files that are
202 created during this @pspp{} run.
204 @var{file_label} should not be quoted.
205 If quotes are included, they are literally interpreted and become part of the file label.
215 @cmd{FINISH} terminates the current @pspp{} session and returns
216 control to the operating system.
224 HOST COMMAND=['@var{command}'...].
227 @cmd{HOST} suspends the current @pspp{} session and temporarily returns control
228 to the operating system.
229 This command cannot be used if the SAFER (@pxref{SET}) setting is active.
231 If the @subcmd{COMMAND} subcommand is specified, as a sequence of shell
232 commands as quoted strings within square brackets, then @pspp{} executes
233 them together in a single subshell.
235 If no subcommands are specified, then @pspp{} invokes an interactive
243 INCLUDE [FILE=]'@var{file_name}' [ENCODING='@var{encoding}'].
246 @cmd{INCLUDE} causes the @pspp{} command processor to read an
247 additional command file as if it were included bodily in the current
249 If errors are encountered in the included file, then command processing will
250 stop and no more commands will be processed.
251 Include files may be nested to any depth, up to the limit of available
254 The @cmd{INSERT} command (@pxref{INSERT}) is a more flexible
255 alternative to @cmd{INCLUDE}. An @cmd{INCLUDE} command acts the same as
256 @cmd{INSERT} with @subcmd{ERROR=STOP CD=NO SYNTAX=BATCH} specified.
258 The optional @subcmd{ENCODING} subcommand has the same meaning as with @cmd{INSERT}.
265 INSERT [FILE=]'@var{file_name}'
267 [ERROR=@{CONTINUE,STOP@}]
268 [SYNTAX=@{BATCH,INTERACTIVE@}]
269 [ENCODING=@{LOCALE, '@var{charset_name}'@}].
272 @cmd{INSERT} is similar to @cmd{INCLUDE} (@pxref{INCLUDE})
273 but somewhat more flexible.
274 It causes the command processor to read a file as if it were embedded in the
275 current command file.
277 If @subcmd{CD=YES} is specified, then before including the file, the
278 current directory will be changed to the directory of the included
280 The default setting is @samp{CD=NO}.
281 Note that this directory will remain current until it is
282 changed explicitly (with the @cmd{CD} command, or a subsequent
283 @cmd{INSERT} command with the @samp{CD=YES} option).
284 It will not revert to its original setting even after the included
285 file is finished processing.
287 If @subcmd{ERROR=STOP} is specified, errors encountered in the
288 inserted file will cause processing to immediately cease.
289 Otherwise processing will continue at the next command.
290 The default setting is @subcmd{ERROR=CONTINUE}.
292 If @subcmd{SYNTAX=INTERACTIVE} is specified then the syntax contained in
293 the included file must conform to interactive syntax
294 conventions. @xref{Syntax Variants}.
295 The default setting is @subcmd{SYNTAX=BATCH}.
297 @subcmd{ENCODING} optionally specifies the character set used by the included
298 file. Its argument, which is not case-sensitive, must be in one of
302 @item @subcmd{LOCALE}
303 The encoding used by the system locale, or as overridden by the
304 @cmd{SET} command (@pxref{SET}). On GNU/Linux and other Unix-like systems,
305 environment variables, e.g.@: @env{LANG} or @env{LC_ALL}, determine the
308 @item @var{charset_name}
309 One of the character set names listed by @acronym{IANA} at
310 @uref{http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets}. Some examples
311 are @code{ASCII} (United States), @code{ISO-8859-1} (western Europe),
312 @code{EUC-JP} (Japan), and @code{windows-1252} (Windows). Not all
313 systems support all character sets.
315 @item @code{Auto,@var{encoding}}
316 Automatically detects whether a syntax file is encoded in an Unicode
317 encoding such as UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32. If it is not, then @pspp{}
318 generally assumes that the file is encoded in @var{encoding} (an @acronym{IANA}
319 character set name). However, if @var{encoding} is UTF-8, and the
320 syntax file is not valid UTF-8, @pspp{} instead assumes that the file
321 is encoded in @code{windows-1252}.
323 For best results, @var{encoding} should be an @acronym{ASCII}-compatible
324 encoding (the most common locale encodings are all @acronym{ASCII}-compatible),
325 because encodings that are not @acronym{ASCII} compatible cannot be
326 automatically distinguished from UTF-8.
329 @item @code{Auto,Locale}
330 Automatic detection, as above, with the default encoding taken from
331 the system locale or the setting on @subcmd{SET LOCALE}.
334 When ENCODING is not specified, the default is taken from the
335 @option{--syntax-encoding} command option, if it was specified, and
336 otherwise it is @code{Auto}.
341 @cindex precision, of output
342 @cindex decimal places
347 /TABLECELLS SELECT = [ @{SIGNIFICANCE, COUNT@} ]
348 FORMAT = @var{fmt_spec}.
350 @note{In the above synopsis the characters @samp{[} and @samp{]} are literals.
351 They must appear in the syntax to be interpreted.}
353 @cmd{OUTPUT} changes the appearance of the tables in which results are printed.
354 In particular, it can be used to set the format and precision to which results are displayed.
356 After running this command, the default table appearance parameters will have been modified and each
357 new output table generated will use the new parameters.
359 Following @code{/TABLECELLS SELECT =} a list of cell classes must appear, enclosed in square
360 brackets. This list determines the classes of values should be selected for modification.
365 Significance of tests (p-values).
368 Counts or sums of weights.
371 The value of @var{fmt_spec} must be a valid output format (@pxref{Input and Output Formats}).
372 Note that not all possible formats are meaningful for all classes.
379 @cindex changing file permissions
383 FILE='@var{file_name}'
384 /PERMISSIONS = @{READONLY,WRITEABLE@}.
387 @cmd{PERMISSIONS} changes the permissions of a file.
388 There is one mandatory subcommand which specifies the permissions to
389 which the file should be changed.
390 If you set a file's permission to @subcmd{READONLY}, then the file will become
391 unwritable either by you or anyone else on the system.
392 If you set the permission to @subcmd{WRITEABLE}, then the file will become
393 writeable by you; the permissions afforded to others will be
395 This command cannot be used if the @subcmd{SAFER} (@pxref{SET}) setting is active.
398 @node PRESERVE and RESTORE
399 @section PRESERVE and RESTORE
409 @cmd{PRESERVE} saves all of the settings that @cmd{SET} (@pxref{SET})
410 can adjust. A later @cmd{RESTORE} command restores those settings.
412 @cmd{PRESERVE} can be nested up to five levels deep.

493 @cmd{SET} allows the user to adjust several parameters relating to
494 @pspp{}'s execution. Since there are many subcommands to this command, its
495 subcommands will be examined in groups.
497 For subcommands that take boolean values, @subcmd{ON} and @subcmd{YES} are synonymous,
498 as are @subcmd{OFF} and @subcmd{NO}, when used as subcommand values.
500 The data input subcommands affect the way that data is read from data
501 files. The data input subcommands are
506 This is the value assigned to an item data item that is empty or
507 contains only white space. An argument of SYSMIS or '.' will cause the
508 system-missing value to be assigned to null items. This is the
509 default. Any real value may be assigned.
513 This value may be set to @subcmd{DOT} or @subcmd{COMMA}.
514 Setting it to @subcmd{DOT} causes the decimal point character to be
515 @samp{.} and the grouping character to be @samp{,}.
516 Setting it to @subcmd{COMMA}
517 causes the decimal point character to be @samp{,} and the grouping
518 character to be @samp{.}.
519 The default value is determined from the system locale.
522 Allows the default numeric input/output format to be specified. The
523 default is F8.2. @xref{Input and Output Formats}.
527 Specifies the range of years used when a 2-digit year is read from a
528 data file or used in a date construction expression (@pxref{Date
529 Construction}). If a 4-digit year is specified for the epoch, then
530 2-digit years are interpreted starting from that year, known as the
531 epoch. If @subcmd{AUTOMATIC} (the default) is specified, then the epoch begins
532 69 years before the current date.
537 @pspp{} extension to set the byte ordering (endianness) used for reading
538 data in IB or PIB format (@pxref{Binary and Hexadecimal Numeric
539 Formats}). In @subcmd{MSBFIRST} ordering, the most-significant byte appears at
540 the left end of a IB or PIB field. In @subcmd{LSBFIRST} ordering, the
541 least-significant byte appears at the left end. @subcmd{VAX} ordering is like
542 @subcmd{MSBFIRST}, except that each pair of bytes is in reverse order. @subcmd{NATIVE},
543 the default, is equivalent to @subcmd{MSBFIRST} or @subcmd{LSBFIRST} depending on the
544 native format of the machine running @pspp{}.
549 @pspp{} extension to set the floating-point format used for reading data in
550 RB format (@pxref{Binary and Hexadecimal Numeric Formats}). The
555 The native format of the machine running @pspp{}. Equivalent to either IDL
559 32-bit IEEE 754 single-precision floating point, in little-endian byte
563 32-bit IEEE 754 single-precision floating point, in big-endian byte
567 64-bit IEEE 754 double-precision floating point, in little-endian byte
571 64-bit IEEE 754 double-precision floating point, in big-endian byte
575 32-bit VAX F format, in VAX-endian byte order.
578 64-bit VAX D format, in VAX-endian byte order.
581 64-bit VAX G format, in VAX-endian byte order.
584 32-bit IBM Z architecture short format hexadecimal floating point, in
585 big-endian byte order.
588 64-bit IBM Z architecture long format hexadecimal floating point, in
589 big-endian byte order.
591 Z architecture also supports IEEE 754 floating point. The ZS and ZL
592 formats are only for use with very old input files.
594 The default is NATIVE.
597 Interaction subcommands affect the way that @pspp{} interacts with an
598 online user. The interaction subcommands are
602 The maximum number of errors before @pspp{} halts processing of the current
603 command file. The default is 50.
606 The maximum number of warnings + errors before @pspp{} halts processing the
607 current command file.
608 The special value of zero means that all warning situations should be ignored.
609 No warnings will be issued, except a single initial warning advising the user
610 that warnings will not be given.
611 The default value is 100.
614 Syntax execution subcommands control the way that @pspp{} commands
615 execute. The syntax execution subcommands are
619 Overrides the system locale for the purpose of reading and writing
620 syntax and data files. The argument should be a locale name in the
621 general form @code{@var{language}_@var{country}.@var{encoding}}, where @var{language}
622 and @var{country} are 2-character language and country abbreviations,
623 respectively, and @var{encoding} is an @acronym{IANA} character set name.
624 Example locales are @code{en_US.UTF-8} (UTF-8 encoded English as
625 spoken in the United States) and @code{ja_JP.EUC-JP} (EUC-JP encoded
626 Japanese as spoken in Japan).
635 The maximum number of iterations for an uncontrolled loop (@pxref{LOOP}).
636 The default @var{max_loops} is 40.
639 The initial pseudo-random number seed. Set to a real number or to
640 RANDOM, which will obtain an initial seed from the current time of day.
646 The maximum amount of memory (in kilobytes) that @pspp{} will use to store data being processed.
647 If memory in excess of the workspace size is required, then @pspp{} will start
648 to use temporary files to store the data.
649 Setting a higher value will, in general, mean procedures will run faster,
650 but may cause other applications to run slower.
651 On platforms without virtual memory management, setting a very large workspace
652 may cause @pspp{} to abort.
654 @cindex memory, amount used to store cases
657 Data output subcommands affect the format of output data. These
666 @anchor{CCx Settings}
668 Set up custom currency formats. @xref{Custom Currency Formats}, for
672 The default @subcmd{DOT} setting causes the decimal point character to be
673 @samp{.}. A setting of @subcmd{COMMA} causes the decimal point character to be
677 Allows the default numeric input/output format to be specified. The
678 default is F8.2. @xref{Input and Output Formats}.
683 @pspp{} extension to set the byte ordering (endianness) used for writing
684 data in IB or PIB format (@pxref{Binary and Hexadecimal Numeric
685 Formats}). In @subcmd{MSBFIRST} ordering, the most-significant byte appears at
686 the left end of a IB or PIB field. In @subcmd{LSBFIRST} ordering, the
687 least-significant byte appears at the left end. @subcmd{VAX} ordering is like
688 @subcmd{MSBFIRST}, except that each pair of bytes is in reverse order. @subcmd{NATIVE},
689 the default, is equivalent to @subcmd{MSBFIRST} or @subcmd{LSBFIRST} depending on the
690 native format of the machine running @pspp{}.
695 @pspp{} extension to set the floating-point format used for writing data in
696 RB format (@pxref{Binary and Hexadecimal Numeric Formats}). The choices
697 are the same as @subcmd{SET RIB}. The default is @subcmd{NATIVE}.
700 In the @pspp{} text-based interface, the output routing subcommands
701 affect where output is sent. The following values are allowed for
702 each of these subcommands:
707 Discard this kind of output.
710 Write this output to the terminal, but not to listing files and other
714 Write this output to listing files and other output devices, but not
719 Write this type of output to all output devices.
722 These output routing subcommands are:
726 Applies to error and warning messages. The default is @subcmd{BOTH}.
729 Applies to notes. The default is @subcmd{BOTH}.
732 Determines whether the syntax used for input is printed back as part
733 of the output. The default is @subcmd{NONE}.
736 Applies to everything not in one of the above categories, such as the
737 results of statistical procedures. The default is @subcmd{BOTH}.
740 These subcommands have no effect on output in the @pspp{} GUI
743 Output driver option subcommands affect output drivers' settings. These
752 The @subcmd{TNUMBERS} option sets the way in which values are displayed in output tables.
753 The valid settings are @subcmd{VALUES}, @subcmd{LABELS} and @subcmd{BOTH}.
754 If @subcmd{TNUMBERS} is set to @subcmd{VALUES}, then all values are displayed with their literal value
755 (which for a numeric value is a number and for a string value an alphanumeric string).
756 If @subcmd{TNUMBERS} is set to @subcmd{LABELS}, then values are displayed using their assigned labels if any.
757 (@xref{VALUE LABELS}.)
758 If the a value has no label, then it will be displayed using its literal value.
759 If @subcmd{TNUMBERS} is set to @subcmd{BOTH}, then values will be displayed with both their label
760 (if any) and their literal value in parentheses.
762 The @subcmd{TVARS} option sets the way in which variables are displayed in output tables.
763 The valid settings are @subcmd{NAMES}, @subcmd{LABELS} and @subcmd{BOTH}.
764 If @subcmd{TVARS} is set to @subcmd{NAMES}, then all variables are displayed using their names.
765 If @subcmd{TVARS} is set to @subcmd{LABELS}, then variables are displayed using their label if one
766 has been set. If no label has been set, then the name will be used.
767 (@xref{VARIABLE LABELS}.)
768 If @subcmd{TVARS} is set to @subcmd{BOTH}, then variables will be displayed with both their label
769 (if any) and their name in parentheses.
780 Logging subcommands affect logging of commands executed to external
781 files. These subcommands are
786 These subcommands, which are synonyms, control the journal. The
787 default is @subcmd{ON}, which causes commands entered interactively to be
788 written to the journal file. Commands included from syntax files that
789 are included interactively and error messages printed by @pspp{} are also
790 written to the journal file, prefixed by @samp{>}. @subcmd{OFF} disables use
793 The journal is named @file{pspp.jnl} by default. A different name may
797 System file subcommands affect the default format of system files
798 produced by @pspp{}. These subcommands are
805 Whether system files created by @cmd{SAVE} or @cmd{XSAVE} are
806 compressed by default. The default is @subcmd{ON}.
809 Security subcommands affect the operations that commands are allowed to
810 perform. The security subcommands are
814 Setting this option disables the following operations:
818 The @cmd{ERASE} command.
820 The @cmd{HOST} command.
822 The @cmd{PERMISSIONS} command.
824 Pipes (file names beginning or ending with @samp{|}).
827 Be aware that this setting does not guarantee safety (commands can still
828 overwrite files, for instance) but it is an improvement.
829 When set, this setting cannot be reset during the same session, for
830 obvious security reasons.
834 @cindex encoding, characters
835 This item is used to set the default character encoding.
836 The encoding may be specified either as an encoding name or alias
837 (see @url{http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets}), or
839 If given as a locale name, only the character encoding of the
842 System files written by @pspp{} will use this encoding.
843 System files read by @pspp{}, for which the encoding is unknown, will be
844 interpreted using this encoding.
846 The full list of valid encodings and locale names/alias are operating system
848 The following are all examples of acceptable syntax on common GNU/Linux
851 SET LOCALE='iso-8859-1'.
853 SET LOCALE='ru_RU.cp1251'.
855 SET LOCALE='japanese'.
858 Contrary to the intuition, this command does not affect any aspect
859 of the system's locale.
895 @cmd{SHOW} can be used to display the current state of @pspp{}'s execution
896 parameters. Parameters that can be changed using @cmd{SET}
897 (@pxref{SET}), can be examined using @cmd{SHOW} using the subcommand
898 with the same name. @cmd{SHOW} supports the following additional
905 Show all custom currency settings (@subcmd{CCA} through @subcmd{CCE}).
906 @item @subcmd{DIRECTORY}
