Re: macro processing examples for PSPP

[John Darrington]

There are a lot of examples at https://www.spsstools.net/en/macros/

Unfortunately however very few of them come with the expected output,
which somewhat limits the site's usefullness.

     Some time ago I asked for examples of CTABLES (Custom Tables).
     I received a few examples from one person. I noticed that all of his
     examples used the SPSS macro processor (the DEFINE command),
     so I decided to implement that as a prerequisite for CTABLES. Over
     the last few weeks, I've been doing that, and last night I got a
     prototype implementation of it working. There is still a lot of work to
     do, and the SPSS documentation is ambiguous in many ways, so
     I'd appreciate it if anyone who uses DEFINE sends me examples.
     Examples that use the various functions (especially !EVAL, which
     is a mystery) or !IF or !LOOP are especially welcome. I haven't
     been able to find any examples of !EVAL and the description is
     unclear.
