In addition, vertical bar is obtained directly only on QWERTY keyboard, it may cause problems on AZERTY keybord...

It might be useful to have an option in Manager to specify the delimiter, rather than force the use of a vertical bar. While this might seem to be a character that would never be used, it could be entered by mistake in a text field. This would be easy for an experienced SPSS user to track down, but an annoyance to the more casual user. <tab> as a delimiter would make sense, but that would make editing the .txt data file problematic.

The data list command format in the sps file now looks like this: DATA LIST FILE = "/home/jens/data/bromar.1.3.txt" ENCODING="UTF8" FREE ("|") RECORDS = 1 / _DoubleEntry(F1) id(F4) sex(F1) error(F1) km(F3) kmgrp(F1) age(F2)
agegrp(F2)
dectime(F6.4) decgrp(F1) runok(F1) .
for the example bromar file. Notice, that the {} are no longer there.
