PM79845: MODEL VIEWER DOES NOT SHOW RESULTS ON PAIRWISE COMPARISON TABLE FOR NPTESTS IF VARIABLE LABELS ARE IDENTICAL

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You work with IBM SPSS Statistics 20.0.0.2 or 21.0.0.0. You
  created a related samples non-parametric test for some test
  variable which has identical variable labels.
  Example syntax:
  
  NPTESTS
    /RELATED TEST(v1 v2 v3 v4)
    /MISSING SCOPE=ANALYSIS USERMISSING=EXCLUDE
    /CRITERIA ALPHA=0.05  CILEVEL=95.
  
  However, when you open the result in Model Viewer and select to
  view the pairwise comparison tables you see no values displayed
  in this table for significance, standard error etc. The table is
  empty.
  
  This was reported to IBM SPSS Development. Please note however:
  if you run the same syntax for the same file again after you
  have changed all variable labels to a unique label so that they
  are different all results are displayed on Model Viewer output
  without any problem.
