Running SPSS in Batch Mode on the SP

CPU intensive jobs on the RS/6000 must be submitted to IBM AIX LoadLeveler. After creating your SPSS command file, and data file create a script file with the following lines.

Type the following lines verbatim, but changing all the parameters you see in single quotes with your own parameters without the single quotes. Suppose you name the script file spssjob.

	#@ initialdir=/'dirname'
	#@ error='errorfile'
	#@ class=stat
	#@ queue
	spss -m < 'inputfile' > 'outputfile'

Once the script file, spssjob, is saved in to your directory, to submit the job, type:

      llsubmit spssjob

There are currently two queues available for SPSS jobs: q (upto 2 CPU hrs.), and stat (upto 24 CPU hrs). For more information on LoadLeveler jobs, at the system prompt, type: llhelp
