Question
I have IBM SPSS Statistics 21 installed on a Windows platform with Oracle Wire Protocol driver from the last SPSS Data Access Pack (SDAP 6.1 SP3). I try to get the data from an Oracle database using this driver. In the database I have some text variables (character) with a certain width. However, when I import the character string variables into Statistics 21 I notice that the width of the string variables are often tripled or doubled than the original width in the database. Why is this?
