Overview All SPSS Commands

The table below lists all SPSS commands and the additional licenses -if any- you need for using them.

This overview is based on SPSS version 22 but we hope to soon update it for version 24.

Consult the notes section for some tips on using the table or downloading it as an SPSS (.sav) data file.

Notes

For this table as an SPSS data (.sav) file, download overview_all_spss_commands.sav. For checking which commands you can and cannot use, first run show license. The result of doing so on our computer is shown in the screenshot below.

SPSS SHOW LICENSE

The table tells us we've SPSS version 22 installed with four modules. In SPSS, these are usually referred to as “options” but they somehow appear under “Component” in this table. If we look at the value labels of these options in variable view, we see that they've been coded as 1, 2, 6 and 14. This is shown by the screenshot below.

SPSS Overview Commands

This means that we can use any command that belongs to option 1, 2, 6 or 14 and was introduced in SPSS version 22 or earlier. We can easily delete all other commands by using SELECT IF with ANY as shown in the syntax below.

Delete Unavailable Commands from Overview

*1. Delete all commands that were introduced after version 22 or don't belong to options 1, 2, 6 or 14.

select if (any(option,1,2,6,14) and introduced <= 22).

*2. Run transformation and inspect result.
