Troubleshooting
Problem
I'm using SPSS Statistics and have noticed that it sometimes doesn't produce correct results when rounding numbers using the RND function, and that in some cases the results differ across different versions or releases. Also, sometimes when I compute values in two different ways that are mathematically equivalent, I get slightly different results. Finally, I've noticed that if I type a number with more than 16 digits in it into a cell in the Data Editor, the value is sometimes changed by the program. Why are these things happening, and what can I do about them?
