Information and Limitations
New features. For a list of new features in the latest SPSS Statistics
release, please visit http://www.spss.com/spss/whats_new.htm
For a list of new features in SPSS Statistics, see the What's New in SPSS
Statistics 17.0? topic in the online help or the cover letter that was
included with your system.
Saving Stata and SAS files with multi-byte variable names. When saving data
files in Stata or SAS format, variable names that contain multi-byte
characters (e.g., Japanese or Chinese characters) are converted to variables
names of the general form Vnnn, where nnn is an integer value. an integer
value.
Dimensions Data Sources. When reading Dimensions data sources (Open
Dimensions Data on the File menu or GET DATA /TYPE=OLEDB), non-English data
may not be read correctly. To use non-English Dimensions data sources in SPSS
Statistics, save the data in SPSS Statistic format in the source application.
Dimensions DMOM Libraries. This version of SPSS Statistics will not work with
Dimensions DMOM Libraries Version 3.5.0.1 or lower. Please use the Dimensions
Component Pack Version 4.0(included with the SPSS Statistics install) or use a
DMOM Version 4.0 or higher product.
Japanese characters in Data Direct driver setup. Japanese characters cannot be
specified in the Data Source Name or Description of the version of Data Direct
database drivers which are shipped with SPSS Statistics. Data Direct
acknowledges that this is a problem, and plans to release a fix.
SPSS Statistics doesnt work with Altiris Vision User Module 3.1. There is a
memory conflict with Microsoft DirectDraw and SPSS Statistics when Altiris
Vision is installed using the "Run before logon" option. In order to resolve
this problem you must not install Altiris Vision with this option - use "Add
to startup menu" or "Run manually" instead. You must uninstall and re-install
Altiris Vision if you already have an installation using "Run before logon"
and are experiencing problems.
In Unicode mode, SET LOCALE specifications of the general form SET
LOCALE=language (e.g., SET LOCALE English) will not work if SPSS Statistics is
installed in a directory path that contains anything other than 7-bit ASCII
characters. There are two alternative solutions for this issue:
1. Uninstall SPSS Statistics and reinstall in a directory path that contains
only 7-bit ASCII characters.
2. Use SET LOCALE specifications of the general form SET
LOCALE=language_country, where "language" and "country" are two letter
abbreviations. For example, SET LOCALE=en_us or SET LOCALE=ja_jp.
* The SPSS Inc. OEM 5.2 DB2 Wire Protocol ODBC driver provided in the SPSS
Inc. Data Access Pack is not compatible with DB2 9.1. When updated drivers are
available, you can download them from
http://www.spss.com/drivers/clientSPSS.htm.
* Oracle and SequeLink Server. If you are using the SequeLink Server at your
site, it might not work correctly with Oracle 8. Use Connect ODBC instead.
Connect ODBC is included in the SPSS Inc. Data Access Pack.
* Using data files saved in SAS formats in SAS JMP and the SAS Viewer. Data
files saved in various SAS formats from SPSS Statistics should work in SAS.
There are known problems using SAS files saved in SPSS Statistics with the SAS
Viewer and SAS JMP 5 - these applications have a different mechanism for
reading files which isnt the same or as stable as the one used in SAS.
* Filename limitations for data files saved in SAS formats. The following
excerpt is from the SAS JMP 5 README: "Double-byte characters should not be
used in filenames when writing SAS files [from within JMP]. This is a
limitation of the SAS local data provider that is to be corrected in version 9
of SAS". This holds true for SAS files saved in SPSS Statistics.
* SAS formats
open SAS data
255 bytes. If
will get only
* Text Wizard data caching. The Text Wizard provides an optional setting that
automatically caches the data that it imports. By default caching is on and
the wizard creates a copy of the entire dataset. If you turn caching off, SPSS
Statistics does not have access to the entire data file -- the original data
source is re-read as needed -- and the total number of cases is unknown. When
the total number of cases is unknown, Go to Case, Copy, and Paste do not work
as expected in the Data Editor. You can correct the problem by using the File
menu to Cache Data.
* Using syntax to read data with ODBC. If you use syntax to read data from a
database with ODBC, we recommend caching your data. Caching your data ensures
that the data are in the same order each time that SPSS Statistics needs to
make a data pass. It also ensures that your analysis isn't affected by updates
to the database that occur while the syntax is being processed. To cache the
data, add a CACHE command to the syntax immediately after your GET DATA
command.
* SQL Server ODBC Driver. If you are using the SPSS Inc. OEM 5.2 SQL Server
Wire Protocol, you should modify the driver setup to ensure proper handling of
quoted field and table names in SQL statements generated by the Database
Wizard and Export to Database Wizard or specified in the GET DATA and SAVE
TRANSLATE commands. In the Advanced tab of the driver setup, select (check)
"Enable Quoted Identifiers". In local analysis mode, you can modify the
driver setup using the Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator, which you can
access from within SPSS Statistics via the "Add ODBC data source" button in
the Database Wizard or Export to Database Wizard. For database access in
distributed analysis mode (using SPSS Statistics Server), contact your
database administrator.
Procedures
* Linear Mixed Models. In the Random dialog box if the Include Intercept
checkbox is checked but no factors or covariates are specified as random
effects, the Next button will not become available. Therefore, in order to
generate a RANDOM subcommand with no effect(s) other than an intercept, that
subcommand must be the last one specified in the Random dialog box. If there
are multiple subcommands specified, the last of which contains only the
intercept, that specification will not be generated unless Continue is clicked
while remaining at that last specification, unless that specification also
includes a subject combination
Other
* Customers who have licensed the PES Adaptor and are upgrading from SPSS 14
may have problems storing and retrieving Complex Samples plan files. If
problems occur you should redefine MIME-type mappings for Complex Samples plan
files. Open the Predictive Enterprise Administrator (http://<pes
server>/config/mimeManager) and delete any existing definitions for .csplan
and .csaplan files. Then redefine the mappings for the two file types using a
single dash (-) instead of a double dash (--) in the MIME type definition.
* Temporary Folder Location
The temporary folder location specified on the File Locations tab of the
Options dialog does not change the location of temporary data files created by
SPSS Statistics in SPSS Statistics 17.0. The location of temporary data files
can be controlled by an environment variable setting specified by the
operating system.
On Windows, SPSS Statistics checks the following environment variables in
order to determine where to put temporary files:
SPSSTMPDIR
SPSSTEMPDIR
TMPDIR
TEMP
If none of these is defined, SPSS Statistics uses c:
* Syntax files can be saved in Unicode or in the local code page (local
encoding). In most cases, when you open a file in the syntax window, SPSS
Statistics automatically determines the correct encoding. Sometimes it will
be wrong. If you see three funny characters at the start of the file, close
it and reopen specifying Unicode. If the contents look scrambled, try a
different encoding setting. If it still looks wrong, your SPSS Statistics
locale may be different from the way the file was saved. Use an appropriate
SET LOCALE command to resolve this.
* Double byte characters aren't properly displayed in SPSS Statisticsgenerated PDF files.
* If you use the Browse button in the Menu Editor to select a syntax or script
file for a custom menu item, the value displayed in the Filename field will be
enclosed in quotes. You should remove these quotes, otherwise the file will
not be found when you use the custom menu item. For syntax files, this problem
manifests as an alert of the general form "Cannot start ['filename']." For
script files, you will see this message in the Viewer window: "No language is
configured to execute this script. Cannot run the script."
* Citrix and Sax BASIC error. When you run SPSS Statistics as a published
Citrix application, you may encounter a Sax BASIC error when you attempt to
run a procedure. The problem can be corrected by editing the location of the
global procedures file on the SPSS Statistics Options Scripts tab.
