A new extension command for SPSS Statistics, STATS DATASET, has been posted to the SPSS Community website.
STATS DATASET provides a single command that incorporates DATASET NAME, DATASET ACTIVATE, DATASET CLOSE, and DATASET DISPLAY, and it can handle multiple datasets at a time.
It can close a list of datasets or close all but a specified keep list.
STATS DATASET requires the Python Essentials and at least version 18 of Statistics. It can be downloaded from within Statistics using the Utilities menu in version 22. For older versions you can download it from the SPSS Community website (
www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral) in the Extension Commands collection.
