Output

Many IBM® SPSS® Statistics procedures now produce layered tabular output that is suitable for formatting as HTML. These tables can be manipulated with the IBM SPSS Statistics client application graphical user interface, so they are called pivot tables. Pivot table layers are produced when the same table is repeated for each value of a grouping variable. Most procedures also produce a table of notes, in addition to the statistical output. The notes table provides information about how the pivot table was created and replaces many warning and information messages that used to appear in text output.

The first time you run your existing command syntax files with the Batch Facility, we recommend that you read through the output to see if it is what you expect. Also consider the new commands and features (such as OMS)--you might want to incorporate them into your existing syntax jobs.
