List of program specific limits

Source: R/program_limits.R
program_limits.Rd

A list of two matrices, detailing different limits for datasets specific to SPSS and Stata.

Usage

program_limits

Format

A data.frame.

Details

SPSS and Stata impose different limits to different aspects of their datasets:

  • varNames: length of variable names

  • varLabels: length of variable labels

  • valLabels: length of value labels

  • stringvars: length of strings in character variables

  • nrows: number of observations

  • ncols: number of variables

While SPSS has only one set of limits (disregarding legacy limits for older versions), Stata, employs different limits for different product versions [1]. Here, SPSS implies SPSS 30, and Stata implies Stata 19/SE. Limits of Stata 19/BE and Stata 19/MP are implemented as additional options for getProgramLimit.
