I'm not sure why you're getting so angry about this. I don't think
anyone here wants to encourage helpful people from leaving the list.
I certainly do not.
But I hope that you understand my email, which perhaps was not
clear: I have checked and I don't see your reply to Mr. Alfred on
the list. If I (and other list subscribers) don't see your email,
there's no way we can know that the problem has already been fixed.
In other words, your request is literally impossible. It actually
came across as unreasonable and a bit bad tempered.
Again, I hope pointing this out does not anger you, but those are
the facts, which I cannot alter.

Alan,
please do not doubt my statements.
Mr Braxton, wrote me a personal e-mail yesterday evening (CEST)
as if I were the PSPP support. I am not. I answered him this
morning (CEST) and pointed to the PSPP manual. This afternoon
(CEST) Mr Braxton wrote the same message that he wrote to me
yesterday evening (CEST) to all PSPP users on the mailing list.
I do not know that the mailing list is for solving indivual
problems. Then I will unsubscribe.

Thank you.

Sorry, here the the URL I forgot to include: https://www.spss-tutorials.com/spss-date-variables-tutorial/
BTW, you're corresponding with a mailing list (address@hidden)...
Not sure who "Al Hollenbach" is.... You're using your laptop
which is using MS Outlook 12. I don't know much about
Outlook, but probably you have a contact in your address
book for "Al Hollenbach" with the email address "address@hidden".
You should change the name of this contact to something
sensible like "PSPP users email list". Or if "Al Hollenbach"
is a contact with a reasonable email address and an
alternative email address of address@hidden,
then you should delete the PSPP email address from Al's
contact information. Or call your IT help desk.

Marc,
If the manual says it's available, then it's a bug if it's
not working. Can you send a tiny example of your syntax
and be more explicit about what you're trying to do and
what it's not doing correctly?
For example, here is a page with some SPSS syntax about
this dates, including DATEDIFF.
If syntax is too scary or creating a tiny example is too
difficult, then maybe it will suffice to have a verbose
explanation of what you're trying to do and what it's not
doing correctly.

Dear Mr Hollenbach –
I need a bit of help with PSPP
and if you are not the source, I apologize for
troubling you and would greatly appreciate being
referred to the proper person.
In the case that you are
available, I have the following questions:
1. Is
DATEDIFF implemented? The manual is clear, but I
can’t get it to work.
2. If
not, how would I get a Julian date?
Thank you for your time. And
once more I apologize for the intrusion.
Marc Alfred
