Hello,
Some SPSS users complain to me about psppire that on SPSS if you try
to add data and don't have a variable defined, it creates
one with a default name and type. On PSPP you can't add data without
set a variable before.
Do you think that it could be change or will not be very useful to the
users?
Personally I don't like that way of doing things. But I guess I'm
looking from a programmer's point of view; if I write x = 3; before
I've defined x, then I like to see an error. I don't want it to
automatically declare a variable x for me.
However, if users want that, then I suppose we can do it. Can you
submit a wishlist bug about it.
