SPSS sample files

To help you test your programs before submitting them to our system, we have prepared two artificial samples. Please download these samples and use them to run your SPSS jobs on your PC in order to check for correct syntax.
While mouse clicking through the Windows version, SPSS is generating the corresponding commands and will show them in the SPSS output window.
Make sure that you enable the commands to be shown by choosing from the menu: EDIT, OPTIONS, GENERAL, and activate the tick: "Record syntax in journal." This allows you to copy-paste the generated SPSS commands into your mail to be sent to the postbox.

By doing so, you will save time and help us avoid system congestion. The "artificial samples" contain a sub-sample of the US00 dataset consisting of 1000 households (us00samphh) and their respective household members (us00samppp) as well as a sub-sample of IT dataset consisting of 240 households (it00samphh) and their respective household members (it00samppp) .
The sub-sample contains all LIS variables but does not necessarily contain observations for each category within a variable. Pay attention to this aspect when moving from program testing on the artificial sample to program running on the real data.
