Summary17328: SPSS export, too long var labels
Description

SPSS export seems to work, but gives for example

Warning # 4463 in column 22.  Text: [Käytän vapaaehtoisesti opetusteknologiaa opetuksessani.] TOIMINTAKULTTUURI: Tässä kyselyssä opetusteknologia tarkoittaa opetuksessa hyödynnettäviä erilaisia tieto- ja viestintätekniikan muotoja. Opetusteknologiaa voidaan käyttää muiden opetusmuot >A label specified on the VAR LABELS command contains more than 256 bytes.  The >label will be truncated to 256 bytes.

This happens when the question type is array, the quesion is long, starting with "<p>TOIMINTAKULTTUURI: Tässä kyselyssä opetusteknologia tarkoittaa opetuksessa hyödynnettäviä erilaisia - -", and the subquestion is not that long, "Käytän vapaaehtoisesti opetusteknologiaa opetuksessani."

I suppose the workaround is

perl -e 's|(v[0-9]{1,3}_[^ ]{55})[^ ]+|$1|g' -p -i.bak filename.sps

but this is still irritating. I mark this as partial block, as many users use SPSS and have no idea about perl or other way to modify the syntax file.

TagsNo tags attached.
