SPSS® 12.0 Command Syntax Reference

Example
OMS
/SELECT TABLES
/IF COMMANDS = [’Regression’]
/EXCEPTIF SUBTYPES = [’Notes’ ’Case Summar*’]
/DESTINATION...
DESTINATION Subcommand
OMS 1117
The DESTINATION subcommand is the only required subcommand. It specifies the format
and location for the routed output. You can also use this subcommand to control what output
is displayed in the Viewer.
• Output continues to flow to a specified destination until its OMS specification is ended,
at which point the file is closed. See “Basic Operation” on p. 1111 and “OMSEND” on p.
1156 for more information.
• Different OMS commands may refer to the same destination file as long as the FORMAT
is the same. When a request becomes active, it starts contributing to the appropriate output
stream. If the FORMAT differs, an error results. When multiple requests target the
same destination, the output is written in the order in which it is created, not the order of
OMS commands.
Example
OMS
/DESTINATION FORMAT = OXML OUTFILE = ’c:\mydir\myfile.xml’.
FORMAT Keyword
The DESTINATION subcommand must include either a FORMAT or VIEWER specification (or
both). The FORMAT keyword specifies the format for the routed output. The keyword must
be followed by an equals sign (=) and one of the following alternatives:
HTML HTML 4.0. Output objects that would be pivot tables in the Viewer are converted
to simple HTML tables. No TableLook attributes (font characteristics,
border styles, colors, etc.) are supported. Text output objects are tagged
in the HTML. All charts and maps are excluded.
OXML SPSS Output XML. XML that conforms to the SPSSOutputXML.xsd schema.
Maps created by the MAPS command and charts created by the IGRAPH command
are excluded. All other charts are included as XML that conforms to
[some chart xml schema name]. See “OXML Table Structure” on p. 1132 for
more information about SPSS Output XML.
SAV SPSS format data file. This is a binary file format. All output object types
other than tables are excluded. Each column of a table becomes a variable in
the data file. To use a data file created with OMS in the same session, you
must specify an OMSEND command to end the active OMS request before
you can open the data file. See “Routing Output to SAV Files” on p. 1123
for more information about SAV files.
