How can I import user-defined missings from Spss?
...n't know if any of these options are possible. Could you help me out?
Let me give you an example:
Preconditions: You need to have spss on you computer to generate the spss data.
You need to generate the folder C:/tmp to save the spss file. As you can see I work with windows.
*/1) Generate the SpssData:

8 char labels in read.spss
I was wondering why it is possible to read long labels from the CVS
files but not from the SPSS files.
I did not have much time to search for the code but I found:
in foreign_0.8-10 source file var.h.in
> /* Definition of the max length of a short string value, generally
> eight characters. */
> #define MAX_SHORT_STRING ((SIZEOF_DOUBLE)>=8 ? ((SIZEOF_DOUBLE)+1)/2*2
> : 8)
