Using Python to create SPSS custom dialog

I am trying to use Python in SPSS custom dialog. My question is how to capture the input value(s) from the UI of the SPSS custom dialog into a variable in Python? I've tried something like var_python=%%thisvalue%% but this returns an error.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Cheers,

Solution

  • You have to add quotation marks. Also don't forget to add BEGIN PROGRAM and END PROGRAM command.

    e.g.:

    BEGIN PROGRAM PYTHON.

this="%%item_294%%"
print this

END PROGRAM.
