2. What's New
New features of SPSS.
SPSS release 14 offers several new features as well as enhancements to current functions. Some of these new features include
- You can have multiple data sources open at the same time, making it easier to compare data files and copy variable definition attributes from one dataset to another
- You can import a MS-Access database file in an easier and greatly simplified procedure
- You can create data values from value labels using the new VALUELABEL function.
- Value labels can now contain 120 characters rather than the previous limit of 60.
- There is more flexibility available in defining multiple response sets. This option is now available in the Data drop down list.
- There is a new interactive Chart Builder interface that enables you to build charts and graphs from predefined gallery charts or from individual graphics elements.
