PSPP for Beginners

Configuring the Variables

Let's begin editing these fields to make them more useful. This example will be a simple grade book, with student names, sex, and exam score results.

Name: Informative values have been given for the variable names. Note that there are no spaces.
Type: The name variables are set to be strings because these will have alphabet characters. The other variables will have numbers, so these are set to numeric.
Width: This has been set to display different sizes, with the names possibly being longer than the exam scores.
Decimal: These have been set to display or not display a decimal, depending on the purpose of the variable.
Label: Each variable has been described in more detail. Note that spaces are okay.
