Verifying Syntax

Before you put your command syntax file into production, you should verify that it runs correctly and produces the results that you expect. To do this, you can:

• Run the command file from a syntax window in the IBM® SPSS® Statistics client application.. Launch the IBM SPSS Statistics client application, open your syntax file, and run it.

or

• Run the Batch Facility in interactive mode. Start the Batch Facility in interactive mode and enter one line of syntax at a time, or use input redirection to input the syntax file. See the topic Working in Interactive Mode for more information.
