Hi,
I imported the ods data file with the following syntax:
GET DATA /TYPE=ODS
/FILE="(file path)\pd_data_cia.ods"
/READNAMES=ON.
and it worked.
I also imported the csv file into Libreoffice Calc to see the data.
When using the comma as a field delimiter I realised that the
function of integrating several field delimiter into a single one
made that the imported data and the column headers did not fit :
there were too few data columns. Only when you stop the last
functionality the importation went as expected.
Thanks for the idea of a direct importation of ods files into PSPP
of which I was unaware.

Hi
Thanks for the response. I imported the ods file through
the gui interface. That is,
file
import data
went to my directory, clicked on the ods data set
next
got the screen importing spreadsheet data
next
apply
I did notice that, when I read the ods file, pspp, in the
output viewer, showed this
get data
/type=ods
/file="C:\Users\Owner\Documents\icaap\data\testdata\PD_data_cia.ods"
/sheet=index 1
/readnames=on
/cellrange=range "a1:al236".
So to try to read the csv file, I tried this
get data
/ type=txt
/
file="C:\Users\Owner\Documents\icaap\data\testdata\PD_data_cia.csv"
/ arrangement=delimited
/ firstcase=2
/ delimiters=",".
now, only one error:
.19: error: Syntax error at end of command: expecting
'/'.
Does that help?
Thanks
Gene

Hi Gene,
I also tried to import the csv data file and got
into difficulties.
How did you import the ods file ? Can you send the
syntax ?
What is funny is that the country data set has no
case, i.e. country, names.

Hi all
I'm trying to read in a data set, in csv. I
also have xls and ods versions, all here
All the files I'm looking at are versions of
the pd_data_cia data set.
I -have- imported the ods version, but when I
try to import the csv version, I just get blank. I
go to file, import data, go to my directory, and
all the files are listed. I click on
pd_data_cia.cvs, and then on the upper left of the
screen, where it says select file to import, I
cannot select any of the options.
I am using pspp version 1.0.1-g818227,
downloaded a couple of days ago from here
I'm on windows, 64 bit operating system, I
think windows 10.
I also tried using the command line, and, well,
not doing it right, perhaps someone can help?
These are the lines I tried
get data
/ type=txt
/
file=’C:\Users\Owner\Documents\icaap\data\testdata\PD_data_cia.csv’
/ arrangement=delimited
/ firstcase=2
/ delimiters=","
Thanks
