Statscraft 0.7.0, release v0.7.0

SET

Change settings of the session.

Syntax

SET subcommand[=]value [[/] subcommand[=]value ...].
Followed: FORMAT=Fw.d (format of new numeric variables, default F8.2), DECIMAL=DOT | COMMA
(decimal mark when reading text data), MPRINT, MEXPAND, MNEST, MITERATE (see DEFINE),
LOCALE='name' (sets DECIMAL to the decimal mark of the locale: et_EE, de_DE give COMMA,
en_US, en_UK give DOT; OSLOCALE gives DOT; a later DECIMAL overrides it; files are always
Unicode, so a code page in the name changes nothing), UNICODE (Statscraft always works in
Unicode; OFF has no effect), PRINTBACK, CCA to CCE='negative
prefix,prefix,suffix,negative suffix' (custom currency formats; three commas, or three periods
when the decimal mark is a comma; ' before a period or comma makes it text), RNG=MC | MT
(the generator of random numbers), SEED=n | RANDOM (starts the MC generator again; a whole
number from 1 to 1999999999, default 2000000), MTINDEX=x | RANDOM (starts the MT generator,
the Mersenne Twister, again; any number, default 2000000). RANDOM takes the time of day.
MXLOOPS=n: the iterations of a LOOP without an index, and of every loop of MATRIX
(default 40). BLANKS=n | SYSMIS: the value of a completely blank numeric field read from
text (DATA LIST, GET DATA, NUMBER); it is not made a missing value. EPOCH=year | AUTOMATIC:
two-digit years in dates and the DATE. functions fall in the 100 years from that year
(AUTOMATIC: from 69 years before the current year). FUZZBITS=n (0 to 20, default 6): the
fuzzbits of RND and TRUNC without a third argument. SCALEMIN=n (default 24): a new numeric
variable read from text with at least n different values is scale. TVARS=NAMES | LABELS |
BOTH: variables in tables as names, labels (default; the name when there is no label) or
both, name then label ("q1 Satisfaction"). TNUMBERS=VALUES | LABELS | BOTH: values in
tables as values, value labels (default; the value when there is no label) or both, value
then label ("1 A great deal"). OVARS and ONUMBERS do the same for the titles of tables.
CTABLES /VLABELS and MULT RESPONSE /FORMAT=NOLABELS win over them. Settings for speed,
memory and messages (CACHE, THREADS, WORKSPACE, MXWARNS ...) are accepted and have nothing
to do. Settings that only change how output looks (TLOOK, WIDTH, LENGTH, DIGITGROUPING ...)
are accepted with a warning. YES and ON, NO and OFF are the same.

Example

SET FORMAT=F10.3 MPRINT=YES /DECIMAL=DOT TVARS=BOTH TNUMBERS=BOTH.

statscraft help SET prints the same text in the terminal. All commands
