Click Paste Commands and/or Paste Subtypes.
The list of available subtypes is based on the currently selected command(s). If
multiple com
mands are selected, the list of available subtypes is the union of
all subtypes available for any of the selected commands. If no commands are
selected, all subtypes are listed.
The identifiers are pasted into the designated command syntax window at the
current cur
sor location. If there are no open commandsyntaxwindows,anew
syntax window is automatically opened.
Each command and/or subtype identifier is enclosed in quotes when pasted since
OMS command syntax requires these quotes.
Identifier lists for the COMMANDS and SUBTYPES keywords must be enclosed in
brackets,
as in:
/IF COMMAN
DS=['Crosstabs' 'Descriptives']
SUBTYPES=['Crosstabulation' 'Descriptive Statistics']
Copying OMS Identifiers from the Viewer Outline
You can copy and paste OMS command and subtype identifiers from the Viewer
outline pane.
E Right-click the outline entry for the item in the outline pane.
E From the pop-up context menu, select Copy OMS Command Identifier or Copy OMS
Table Subt
ype
.
This metho
d differs from the OMS Identifiers dialog box in one respect: The copied
identifier is not automatically pasted to a command syntax window. It is simply
copied to the clipboard, and you can then paste it anywhere you want. Since
command a
nd subtype identifier values are identical to the corresponding command
and subtype attribute values in XML-format output (OXML), you might find this
copy/paste method useful if you write XSLT transformations.
