How to Increase memory in spss

[Radha garg]

Dear Friends,


When we used a very large data sets in SPSS, then sometimes its doesn't show any output for some function like time series analysis.
It happens due to non availability of enough memory to perform that function.

Actually, In version 12.0 and later, the default minimum work-space memory is limit is 6144KB. But, This limit can be increased by running SET command in syntax.
To do it, follow this step.
1. Open any SPSS file and go to the new-----syntax
2. Write SHOW WORKSPACE and click on Run. Now it will show default memory of 6144KB in spss output.
3. Now write, SET WORKSPACE= 12296 and select this syntax and click on run.

Now the memory will increased up to 12296KB.

Please note that generally you do not need to change the value for workspace. If you encounter error messages regarding insufficient workspace, try increasing the value gradually. Setting the value too high can have a negative impact on system performance.

Note that adding the "KB" gave an error, so the following command works "SET WORKSPACE 112296" is all you need to type.  Thank you Radha.
