The OMS syntax below will work fine if it just surrounds the FACTOR command, but it would be a little more robust if the selector also specifies the command.

/IF COMMANDS = ["Factor Analysis"]
     SUBTYPES = ["Descriptive Statistics"]

Some table types, including Descriptive Statistics, can be produced by more than one procedure, so if the job stream included a DESCRIPTIVES command while OMS is active, OMS would be picking up more than was intended.

Hi Ann,

Something like this should work:

OMS SELECT TABLES
/IF SUBTYPES=['Descriptive Statistics']
/DESTINATION FORMAT=SAV OUTFILE='c:\temp\descriptives.sav'.

OMS SELECT TABLES
/IF SUBTYPES=['Factor Score Coefficient Matrix']
/DESTINATION FORMAT=SAV OUTFILE='c:\temp\Factorscore.sav'.

FACTOR
 /VARIABLES m3a1a m3b1a m3d1a m3e1a m3g1a m3h1a m3k1a m3n1a m151aa m151ab
  m141aa m141ba m141ca m141da age_bm1a age_bm1b
  age_bm1c age_bm1d age_bm1e age_bm1f bord1aa bord1ba bord1ca bord1da
 /MISSING LISTWISE /ANALYSIS m3a1a m3b1a m3d1a m3e1a
  m3g1a m3h1a m3k1a m3n1a m151aa m151ab m141aa m141ba m141ca m141da age_bm1a
  age_bm1b age_bm1c age_bm1d age_bm1e age_bm1f
  bord1aa bord1ba bord1ca bord1da
 /PRINT UNIVARIATE INITIAL EXTRACTION FSCORE
 /CRITERIA FACTORS(1) ITERATE(25)
 /EXTRACTION PC
 /ROTATION NOROTATE
 /SAVE REG(ALL)
 /METHOD=CORRELATION .

OMSEND.

The sav files will need a bit of editing (this can be automated
too)

AEF> I have the following factor analysis code
AEF> FACTOR
AEF>   /VARIABLES m3a1a m3b1a m3d1a m3e1a m3g1a m3h1a m3k1a m3n1a m151aa m151ab

AEF> /MISSING LISTWISE /ANALYSIS m3a1a m3b1a m3d1a m3e1a

AEF>   /EXTRACTION PC
AEF>   /ROTATION NOROTATE
AEF>   /SAVE REG(ALL)
AEF>   /METHOD=CORRELATION .

AEF> this will generate a descriptives piece of output and also the component
AEF> score coefficient matrix and also some additional tables

AEF> what I am trying to do is to export these two tables using oms  to a sav
AEF> file so that I can do some calculations and then possibly (at a later date)
AEF> merge the results back into the original data file
