Statscraft 0.7.0, release v0.7.0

APPLY DICTIONARY

Copy dictionary information from a data file or dataset to the active dataset.

Syntax

APPLY DICTIONARY FROM 'file' | dataset | * [/SOURCE VARIABLES=varlist]
                 [/TARGET VARIABLES=varlist] [/NEWVARS]
                 [/FILEINFO [ATTRIBUTES[=REPLACE | MERGE]] [DOCUMENTS[=...]] [FILELABEL]
                            [MRSETS[=...]] [VARSETS[=...]] [WEIGHT] [ALL]]
                 [/VARINFO [ALIGNMENT] [ATTRIBUTES[=...]] [FORMATS] [LEVEL] [MISSING]
                           [ROLE] [VALLABELS[=REPLACE | MERGE]] [VARLABEL] [WIDTH] [ALL]].
Variables match by name and type; with a different type only the label is copied.
Without VARINFO everything but attributes is copied, value labels replacing; without
FILEINFO only the weight. SOURCE with one variable and TARGET copies that variable's
information to every target of the same type. Empty information in the source does
not overwrite the active dataset's. NEWVARS adds the source variables the active dataset
lacks, with their dictionary information and missing values; without an active dataset it
makes one with the source's variables and no cases.

Example

APPLY DICTIONARY FROM 'template.sav' /FILEINFO VARSETS=MERGE MRSETS.

statscraft help APPLY DICTIONARY prints the same text in the terminal. All commands
