PM47603: MOVE TO ROW API USED IN PYTHON SCRIPT DOES NOT WORK IN IBM SPSS STATISTICS 20 FOR FAST TABLES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You work with IBM SPSS Statistics 20 and Python Integration
  PlugIn installed. You create some fast rendered pivot tables and
  use a Python script as in the example below to pivot the pivot
  row dimension 'Statistics' of a crosstabulation table to first
  row dimension, but it does nothing since the MoveToRow API does
  not work.
  If you use the opposite API MoveToColumn for fast tables the
  Python script works.
  
  import SpssClient
  SpssClient.StartClient()
  objOutputDoc = SpssClient.GetDesignatedOutputDoc()
  objOutputItem = objOutputDoc.GetCurrentItem()
  
  objPivotTable = objOutputItem.GetSpecificType()
  PivotManager = objPivotTable.PivotManager()
  # Search for the row dimension named "Statistics" and pivot it
  to
  # the first row dimension.
  for i in range(PivotManager.GetNumRowDimensions()):
     RowDim = PivotManager.GetRowDimension(i)
     if RowDim.GetDimensionName() == "Statistics":
        RowDim.MoveToRow(1)
        break
  
  SpssClient.StopClient()
