Where can I find the “pinning” option in SPSS 14.0.0
April 9th, 2006
We got a question from Alex about the pinning option in the new spss version 14.0.0
“I’ve just moved to version 14.0.0 and am looking for the “pin”
function, which allows all columns to the left of the selected column to
be locked in place while moving through the columns to the right. As I
recall, that function used to be available by right clicking on the
right-most column to be locked. But, I can’t find that function now and
I don’t find it under the “help”-funtion. Is it really gone?”
Lucky for you the function is not gone. The old somewhat limited “pinning” feature has been replaced with far more flexible pane splitting. Go the help index and type “pane splitter” for a description on how this works. You can also use the Window>Split menu item.

I had also been looking for that function.
In the new system of ‘pane splitting’, when I double-click on a variable in ‘variable view’ it takes me to that variable in the first pane of the data view screen. Is there a way to take me to the variable I want in the second pane? I only want my ID names in the first column, after which I have the split, so moving to another variable in that pane is of no use.
