format of time/bool variables

Hi

While I can perform the cmd:

1 #g

2 #a (a) dynamic

2 #d (d)

2 #i (i4)

2 #t (t)

2 #l (l)

compress numeric #g (df=l) to #rec

the DF= is compiled

but I want to be able to set default output for logical and time variable as well

compress numeric #g (df=l em=hh:ii False/True) to #rec

this is an example.

I want to be able to do in 1 compress cmd of the grp and to set the format for all variables types

    Hello Hezi,

    Did you tried :
    COMPRESS NUMERIC #D (DF=L) #T(EM=HH:II) #L(EM=False/True) TO #REC
