Re: Problem with /Rename with Save Translate

[John Darrington]

You don't say what version of pspp you are using, but so far as I can
recall, there haven't been any changes in save translate for quite a
while.

I tried the following syntax and it worked just fine on pspp 1.3.0.  Perhaps
you can try it too:


data list notable list /x y *.
begin data
1 2
3 4
end data.

save translate /outfile='xx.csv'
/type=csv
/replace
/fieldnames
/unselected=delete
/rename (x y=a b)
.

       I have tried a number of variations to the syntax including:
     
      
     
         SAVE TRANSLATE 
     
     /OUTFILE='e:\Databases\Updates\RCRA\hreport_univ_CA5.csv"

       /REPLACE
     
       /FIELDNAMES
     
       /Unselected=DELETE
     
        /RENAME  (Var1 Var2=Test1 Test2)
     
        .
     
      
     
         SAVE TRANSLATE 
     
     /OUTFILE='e:\Databases\Updates\RCRA\hreport_univ_CA5.csv"

        /RENAME = Var1=Test2

         SAVE TRANSLATE 
     
     /OUTFILE='e:\Databases\Updates\RCRA\hreport_univ_CA5.csv"

       /MAP
     
       /REPLACE

        /RENAME = (Var1=Test2)
     
        .
