It is possible to use python in SPSS to bypass limitations of the SPSS syntax (f.ex. in loops)? -
you can use python automate things in spss or shorten way, need know if possible replace spss syntax python example aggregate data in loops etc..
or example. have 2 datesets follwing variables id, begin, end , type. possible put them different arrays/lists , compare arrays/lists @ end have new table/dataset non matching entries , dataset matching entries in spss. idea extend context of matching files in spss.
normally programming languages python or php can handle this.
excuse me. hope understand mean.
there many ways sort of thing python. spss module dataset class allows read , write case data. spssdata module provides simpler way this. these included when install python essentials. there utility modules available the spss community website. in particular, extended transforms module provides standard lookup function , interval-based lookup.
i'm not sure, though, standard match files
won't need here. mismatches generate missing data in variables, , can select subsets based on criterion.
