Generate SPSS 'COMPUTE' syntax to compute the CONCAT() of two (sets of) variables.
Description
Generate SPSS 'COMPUTE' syntax to compute the CONCAT() of two (sets of) variables.
Usage
spss.compute.concat(str1, str2, names)
Arguments
str1 |
the first argument for CONCAT(). |
str2 |
the second argument for CONCAT(). |
names |
the name(s) of the variable(s) to be created. |
Examples
spss.compute.concat("feedback", "feedback_f", "enfr.feedback")
spss.compute.concat("feedback", "feedback_f", "enfr.feedback")
Generate SPSS 'COMPUTE' syntax to compute the MAX() of two (sets of) variables.
Description
Generate SPSS 'COMPUTE' syntax to compute the MAX() of two (sets of) variables.
Usage
spss.compute.max(var1, var2, append = "new.", ...)
Arguments
var1 |
the first argument for MAX(). Used for the naming of the output variable(s). |
var2 |
the second argument for MAX(). |
append |
specifies the text that should be appended to the name(s) of the variable(s) in var1 to create the output variable(s). |
... |
any additional arguments that can be passed to functions spss.format.max and spss.format.compute |
Examples
spss.compute.max(c("dob", "income"), c("dob_f", "income_f"), append = "total.")
spss.compute.max(c("dob", "income"), c("dob_f", "income_f"))
Generate SPSS 'STRING' syntax and 'COMPUTE' syntax to compute the CONCAT() of two (sets of) variables.
Description
Generate SPSS 'STRING' syntax and 'COMPUTE' syntax to compute the CONCAT() of two (sets of) variables.
Usage
spss.concat.new(str1, str2, append = "", name = "", ...)
Arguments
str1 |
the first argument for CONCAT(). Used for the naming of the output variable(s). |
str2 |
the second argument for CONCAT(). |
append |
specifies the text that should be appended to the name(s) of the variable(s) in str1 to create the output variable(s). Defaults to an empty string. |
name |
specifies the name of the new String variable to be created. Defaults to an empty string ; if left unspecified, the function will use the append parameter. |
... |
any additional arguments that can be passed to functions spss.string and spss.compute.concat |
Examples
spss.concat.new(c("dob", "income"), c("dob_f", "income_f"), append = "total.")
spss.concat.new(c("dob", "income"), c("dob_f", "income_f"))
Generate SPSS 'COMPUTE' syntax to carry out an operation on two (sets of) variables.
Description
Generate SPSS 'COMPUTE' syntax to carry out an operation on two (sets of) variables.
Usage
spss.format.compute(output, operation)
Arguments
output |
specifies the name(s) of the output variable(s) of COMPUTE(). |
operation |
specifies the computational operation to be carried out. |
Examples
spss.format.compute("new.var", "MAX(var1,var2)")
spss.format.compute(c("dob", "comments"), c("MAX(dob,dob_f)", "CONCAT(comments,comments_f)"))
spss.format.compute("string.var", "CONCAT(string1,string2)")
Generate SPSS 'concat()' syntax for two (sets of) variables.
Description
Generate SPSS 'concat()' syntax for two (sets of) variables.
Usage

var2 |
the second argument for concat(). |
Examples
spss.format.concat(c("dob", "income"), c("dob_f", "income_f"))
spss.format.concat("income", "income_f")
Generate SPSS 'MAX()' syntax for two (sets of) variables.
Description
