Re: problems with decimal number display by PSPP

[John Darrington]

Recently we have had several similar reports, but to date nobody has said
how to reproduce this problem.

Can you post the exact syntax, including the data definition, which you
used when this problem occurred?

So far as I'm aware all the people who have reported this problem have been
using Windows.  It doesn't happen with other systems.  So until this
problem is fixed the best workaround is to use a different OS.

     Hi,
     
     Ihope you can help me with a particular difficulty in using PSPP. I cannot 
control thedecimal output of PSPP as it presents numbers in decimal form. The 
first zeroafter the decimal point is preceded by a special character - a 
rectangle with somedots inside. Please see the decimal numbers under the 
"Missing"column in the image I attached for clarity.?? 
     
     Itried changing the Format specs but it did not go away!
     
     Is this something "natural" in PSPP? Or there are ways to eliminatesaid 
especial symbol?
     
     Thank you so much!
