SpssOutputDoc Class (Python)

The SpssOutputDoc class represents an open output document.

Example: Obtaining the Designated Output Document

import SpssClient
SpssClient.StartClient()
DesignatedOutputDoc = SpssClient.GetDesignatedOutputDoc()

• The variable DesignatedOutputDoc is an SpssOutputDoc object for the designated output document.

Example: Obtaining the First Opened Output Document

import SpssClient
SpssClient.StartClient()
OutputDocsList = SpssClient.GetOutputDocuments()
FirstOutputDoc = OutputDocsList.GetItemAt(0)

• SpssClient.GetOutputDocuments() returns an OutputDocsList object, which provides access to all open output documents.
• The GetItemAt method from the OutputDocsList class is used to get the output document with index 0 (the first opened output document) from the list of open output documents. The variable FirstOutputDoc is an SpssOutputDoc object for this output document.

Example: Create a New Output Document and Set it as the Designated One

import SpssClient
SpssClient.StartClient()
NewOutputDoc = SpssClient.NewOutputDoc()
NewOutputDoc.SetAsDesignatedOutputDoc()

• The variable NewOutputDoc is an SpssOutputDoc object for the new output document.

Accessing Output Items in an Output Document

You access individual output items, within an output document, from an OutputItemList object. You obtain an OutputItemList object from the GetOutputItems method of the SpssOutputDoc class. See the topic SpssOutputItem Class (Python) for more information.
