The pinning facility exists through SPSS 12.  It was limited to pinning a set of contiguous columns starting from the first one.  The menu item is disabled unless the selection meets that requirement.

Starting with SPSS 13, a more flexible window splitter is available allowing the Data Editor window to be divided vertically or horizontally or both, and then the parts can be scrolled separately.  That is, if you split vertically, you can scroll each portion left or right, but the cases stay synchronized, and so on.

All,

I've seen some mention of 'pinning columns' in the data editor. I want to
try this but i am unable to find any information on it in help system. When
i select a column in the data view and right click, i see an entry for
pinning columns but it greyed out. Help please.

Thanks, Gene Maguin
