SPSS® 12.0 Command Syntax Reference

ADD DOCUMENT 79
• An ADD DOCUMENT command with no quoted text string appends a date in parentheses
to the documenation.
• DISPLAY DOCUMENTS will display all documentation for the data file specified on ADD
DOCUMENT and/or DOCUMENT commands. Documentation is displayed exactly as
entered; each line of the ADD DOCUMENT command is displayed as a separate line, and
there is no line wrapping.
• DROP DOCUMENTS deletes all documentation created by both ADD DOCUMENT and
DOCUMENT.
Example
If the command name and the quoted text string are specified on the same line, the command
name counts toward the 80-byte line limit; so it’s probably a good idea to put the command
name on a separate line, as in:
ADD DOCUMENT
"This is some text that describes this file.".
Example
To insert blank lines between blocks of text, enter a null string, as in:
ADD DOCUMENT
"This is some text that describes this file."
""
"This is some more text preceded by a blank line.".
