1492 SET<br />

SPSSB in the server version of SPSS. When the MXERRS limit is exceeded, SPSS terminates<br />

the session.<br />

• All errors are included with warnings in the count toward the MXWARNS limit. Notes are<br />

not. For information on notes, warnings, and errors, see “Listing File” on p. 23.<br />

• In interactive mode or in SPSS for Windows and other windowed environments, MXERRS<br />

does not apply. If you have set MXWARNS, SPSS stops displaying warning messages when<br />

the limit is exceeded but the working session continues.<br />

• In batch mode in non-windowed environments, SPSS terminates the session when the<br />

MXWARNS limit is exceeded. You may wish to reset MXWARNS when using batch mode.<br />

Example<br />

<br />

• MXERRS specifies that a maximum of 5 errors can occur before an SPSS session is<br />

terminated.<br />

• MXWARNS specifies that a maximum of 200 warnings can be displayed. When the limit<br />

is exceeded, SPSS stops is displaying warnings if it is in a windowed environment or is<br />

running the commands interactively. Otherwise, SPSS terminates the session.<br />

MXLOOPS Subcommand<br />

MXLOOPS specifies the maximum number of times a loop defined by the LOOP—END LOOP<br />

structure is executed for a single case or input record. The default is 40.<br />

• MXLOOPS prevents infinite loops, which may occur if no cutoff is specified for the loop<br />

structure (see LOOP—END LOOP).<br />

• When a loop is terminated, control passes to the command immediately following the END<br />

LOOP command, even if the END LOOP condition is not yet met.<br />

EXTENSIONS Subcommand<br />

This subcommand is no longer supported.<br />

COMPRESSION Subcommand<br />

COMPRESSION determines whether scratch files created during a session are in compressed<br />

or uncompressed form.<br />

• A compressed scratch file occupies less space on disk than does an uncompressed scratch<br />

file but requires more processing.<br />

• The specification takes effect the next time a scratch file is written and stays in effect until<br />

SET COMPRESSION is specified again or until the end of the session.<br />

• The default setting varies. Use SHOW to display the default on your system.<br />

YES Compress scratch files.
