Sorry, here the the URL I forgot to include: https://www.spss-tutorials.com/spss-date-variables-tutorial/

BTW, you're corresponding with a mailing list (address@hidden)... Not sure who "Al Hollenbach" is.... You're using your laptop which is using MS Outlook 12. I don't know much about Outlook, but probably you have a contact in your address book for "Al Hollenbach" with the email address "address@hidden".  You should change the name of this contact to something sensible like "PSPP users email list". Or if "Al Hollenbach" is a contact with a reasonable email address and an alternative email address of address@hidden, then you should delete the PSPP email address from Al's contact information. Or call your IT help desk.

Marc,

If the manual says it's available, then it's a bug if it's not working.  Can you send a tiny example of your syntax and be more explicit about what you're trying to do and what it's not doing correctly?

For example, here is a page with some SPSS syntax about this dates, including DATEDIFF.

If syntax is too scary or creating a tiny example is too difficult, then maybe it will suffice to have a verbose explanation of what you're trying to do and what it's not doing correctly.

Dear Mr Hollenbach –

 

I need a bit of help with PSPP and if you are not the source, I apologize for troubling you and would greatly appreciate being referred to the proper person.

 

In the case that you are available, I have the following questions:

1.       Is DATEDIFF implemented?  The manual is clear, but I can’t get it to work.

2.      If not, how would I get a Julian date?

 

Thank you for your time.  And once more I apologize for the intrusion.

 

Marc Alfred
