Ben,

 

Is it this what you need?

 

matrix.
print ln(0).
end matrix.

 

Run MATRIX procedure:

Betreff: numerical error handling in SPSS matrix language

 

I've implemented most of the SPSS matrix language and I'm now working

on leftover pieces such as testing and documentation. One thing that's

come up, that SPSS does not document, is how numerical errors are

handled.  Can anyone tell me what, for example, the following would do

in SPSS?

 

MATRIX.

PRINT LN(0).

END MATRIX.
