  problem when activating SPSS         


Author: quebecstat
Date: Dec 31, 2007 09:03

Dear forum

I am having a hard time completing the License Authorization part when
activating SPSS.

I have my lock code, my authorization code and my license code which I
got by email from SPSS. When I run the License Authorization wizard,
everything appears to work fine, the wizard says that the product is
activated.

But when I run SPSS, I get the below error message:

Error # 7003
The license for SPSS windows has expired
This command is not executed
Specific symptom # 213

I googled the error and I read that the error message can appear when
the time and date of the PC is wrong. But the date and time of my PC
is right.

Does anybody know how to solve that problem?

I greatly appreciate your help.

MI5. Persecution Update: Friday 9 July, 1999

Harassment in. Poland, July 1999

And still it continues.... in my last fax I said that provided MI5. made no
attempts at harassment during my two-week holiday this. summer, or after I
returned. to England, then I would discontinue these faxes. Unfortunately
MI5 have. continued to harass me, both during the holiday and after my
return. to London. I really dont want to continue these articles, since
they take up. so much time and effort, not to mention expense; but the
Security Service wont even let me have a holiday in peace. and quiet, so I
have to make further efforts to bring their activities out. into the open.

In early July. I visited my aunt and her family in Poland. On Saturday 3
July 1999, I went to a family barbecue at an allotment outside. the
city. One of. my aunts family has previously shown himself to...

  SPSS versus Excel data formats         


Author: Max
Date: Dec 27, 2007 10:19

Hi there

I've just discovered that much of the analysis I want to do can be
done in Excel pivot tables.

My data, however, is in SPSS format (cases in rows, variables in
columns) and I wondered:

1. Is there a quick way to get this into Excel database format (which
looks similar to data prepared for multilevel modelling), I tried the
SPSS restructure, but it requires that each target group has an equal
number of variables which is not the case in my data (my groups are
scales each with differing numbers of items).

2. Alternatively, if I initially enter the data into Excel database
format for pivoting, is it easier to turn this into SPSS format?

As a matter of interest, is there a view as SPSS versus Excel pivot
tables (how do SPSS pivot tables compare to Excel? More, less
features?)

Thanks and best wishes

Max

MI5 Persecution: BBC Newscasters Lie & Deny They're. Watching Me

Central to. the persecution campaign waged against me for some nine years
now. by the Security Service is their use of the media, and in particular
the broadcast media, to make clear to me that I. am under surveillance and
being watched within my own home, even by. BBC newscasters while they read
the news. This is really. an act of arrogance; MI5 and their tools in the
television and. radio are so sure that they can never be caught, that they
have many times. made explicity clear on broadcast programmes that they are
as capable of seeing me as I. am of seeing the broadcast pictures. Even
when they have known. I am taping the programmes they still carry on this
practice; for examples of. TVand radio presenters caught "in action", see
the Evidence area of. my website.

If you wish to reply to this. article......
then. please include your name and fax number! I provide the means for
recipients to send me their thoughts. on the topics discussed, but ask that
you. provide me with your fax number or email address if you require a
response. Also would you. please send not more than one or two pages, if by
fax.. Thank-you!

It started. with a Newscaster, and it continues with Newscasters today

Four Years of. "MI5 Persecution" Posts on Internet Newsgroups

For approximately the first three years of the MI5 persecution, from. June
1990 until late 1992, I. kept as quiet as possible, in the hope that by not
reacting, MI5s interest in me would. decrease and they would simply go away
of their own accord. This is the sort of behaviour some. people employ
against bullies; if. the bullies arent getting a reaction, then they might
simply go away and victimize. someone else.

Unfortunately, this tactic didnt work. The quieter I. became, the more
shrill and hysterical the noise from the. Security Service operatives. For
about two years I didnt watch TV news at all.. Yet this only heightened
their obsessed fixation;. they continued to follow me wherever I went, they
continued to induce harassment at work by managers and. fellow workers, and
they continued to encourage me to commit suicide. They seemed to. regard my
refusal to react as a crime which they. would have to "put right" by ever
more. extreme forms of abuse.

Somewhere between 0 and. 100%%

The last few days there have been no clear recordable. instances of
abuse. However, while travelling on the. Underground, while walking around
near my home and going to friends homes, I am constantly. troubled by
thoughts that those. people over there might be about to get at me; that
the couple sitting in the. opposite seats laughing are in fact laughing at
me; et. cetera, et cetera.

A comment. by a scientist to the BSE inquiry sticks in my mind. He
described the possible scale of the epidemic as. "between 0%% and 100%%". It
might. not be happening, it might not happen at all, to any discernable
degree..... or it might be total. Without clear recording, which seems to
have become impossible the last couple of weeks, there is no. way of
knowing. whether the harassment really is continuing, whether we have
entered a temporary hiatus, or whether perhaps it has perhaps. stopped for
now.

  Filling in Missing Values with values from other variables on the same row         


Author: noamfischman
Date: Dec 23, 2007 07:57

Hi All,

I have been unable to find an elegant Syntax for the following problem
and was hoping somebody could help me.

My data looks like this (the E vars represent employment status over a
series of months; 1= new job; 2= in old job; 3= lost job; 4=still out
of work):

E1 E2 E3 E4 E5
1 2
1 2
3 4
3 1

I would like to fill in the missing values with these rules:

ALL missing values that are after a 1 or a 2 should take on the value
of 2.
ALL Missing values following that are after a 3 or 4 should take on
the value of 4.

Thus I would like the data to look like this after the missing values
are filled in appropriately:

  How to create an index--product of values of variables         


Author: christopheriden
Date: Dec 21, 2007 04:59

Hi,

This might seem trivial. But I am trying to create a hedonic index and
thus have to calculate the product of all the values of a certain
variable and then calculate the geometric average of this. I didnt
manage to do it yet.
How can I calculate the product of the values of a variable and print
it on the screen. If anybody knows how to implement that in syntax
would be nice.

regards

  generating new data file through syntax         


Author: amary
Date: Dec 20, 2007 11:15

Hi you,
I'm new here.
It should be possible to generate a new file completely syntax-
driven.
Does anybody have a code example to generate a completely new, empty
data file through syntax?
The new file should consist of several numeric variables in different
formats and i'd like to assign value-labels such that this file is
ready for entering data.
