Hi. Anyone know if there is a way to do a post-hoc test for the
Friedman's ANOVA. I have sig. differences over 3 levels but need to
know which level is diff. from each other. i.e like the contrasts post-

I posted a question regarding !IF and !THEN macro statements a few
days back, and I got a number of responses showing me how to get
around the particular problem I was having.  I really appreciate the
help, but now I've run into the need for these statements again, and I

I just used the date function to insert the current date, and it shows
as 25 (correct) April (correct) 2002 (instead of 2007)?

but just automatically hidden and I need to double-click to display them.

no idea how to. I'm so unfamiliar with spss. I have put in my data and

I'm hoping that somebody can tell me what I'm not seeing here.  The
idea with the syntax at the bottom is that each time the macro is
called (the call is in the second block of text), the macro is
supposed to look at the value of "Survey_time" and compare it to the

Dear Newsgroup,

me the frequency for every column but I need the frequency for all 6

I need advice what I should to do to read long dataset (longer than 100000  
cases) when I try to put part or all (all - it is not too clever idea - I
