I'm trying to get UPDATE to work but I'm not getting it. Can you please tell
me where I'm going wrong.
I created two test files. The master I called NAT99.sav and here is the data:
1JOE M91
2MARYF86
3JACKM98
4JILLF85
5BOB M87
6SUE F92
And the transaction file I called NAT99_updates.txt, and here is the data:
1JOE M19
2MARYF86
3JACKM98
4JILLF85
5XXX M87
6SUE F29
I then read each file creating a system file for each one. Here is the code I
used, hoping to see the master file updated with changes listed in the
transaction file. But the master file isn't updated. Where am I going wrong?
get file ='C:\PSPP_update\NAT99.sav'.
update
/file = *
/file = 'C:\PSPP_update\NAT99NAT99_updates.txt.sav'
/in=infred
/by ClientID.
execute.
list.
Thank you, Ron
