Introduction

Use the spss enrichment to load data from an SPSS file.

Creating the enrichment

For more information on creating an enrichment, see Using custom scripts.

Configuring the enrichment

To configure the enrichment, fill in the following fields. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

Encoding*

Select the encoding type to use to parse the SPSS file.

Map Labels

Select this field to convert numerical values to their mapped representation.

Header Format

Enter a template to use as a format for the header of the data extract. For example, enter {variable}|{label}.

Subtable

Enter the name for a subtable that you want to contain the enriched data. The enrichment is applied to the whole data extract, then the enriched data is output into the subtable you have named here.

This subtable is a temporary table, which means it only exists for this custom script. You can apply additional instructions within the same custom script to the subtable. However, the subtable cannot be used in any other custom scripts.
