Subject:      not reproducable results
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I would like to know under which conditions SPSS 6.1 (Win95) will not produce the same results of the procedure NPAR TEST if I run the following syntax (!) repeatedly from the first to the last statement (this strange behavior is reproducable):

* -------------------------------------- .

SET MXMEMORY=64000.

GET FILE='c:\SPSSWIN\JOBS\tst.sav'. EXECUTE .

temporary. select if vpstadt < 28031. frequencies vpstadt.

compute w = 0. if (vpstadt=28001) w = 3.08095. if (vpstadt=28005) w = 3.27382. if (vpstadt=28006) w = 0.98791. if (vpstadt=28007) w = 5.09783. if (vpstadt=28008) w = 1.21788. if (vpstadt=28009) w = 3.26078. if (vpstadt=28010) w = 1.82899. if (vpstadt=28011) w = 1.42768. if (vpstadt=28012) w = 1.02232. if (vpstadt=28013) w = 1.92160. if (vpstadt=28014) w = 0.55999. if (vpstadt=28015) w = 0.78109. if (vpstadt=28016) w = 1.03878. if (vpstadt=28017) w = 1.38509. if (vpstadt=28018) w = 0.98105. if (vpstadt=28019) w = 3.99566. if (vpstadt=28020) w = 0.25259. if (vpstadt=28021) w = 0.74884. if (vpstadt=28022) w = 0.61446. if (vpstadt=28023) w = 0.74715. if (vpstadt=28024) w = 1.09584. if (vpstadt=28025) w = 0.64432. if (vpstadt=28026) w = 0.55949. if (vpstadt=28027) w = 0.29744. if (vpstadt=28028) w = 5.93325. if (vpstadt=28029) w = 0.69896. if (vpstadt=28030) w = 0.96384. execute.
