Thanks to everyone who offered advice re: the Ontario PCCF file set up for geocoding. Two things that I had to do after establishing the data fields using SPSS: 1) convert the Longitude to Decimal (11,6) (had to be longer than the latitude because of the negative ....thanks to Jason Adam and Kenneth Laas for your suggestions!!!) 2) Use Query>SQL to extract the "best" (or only) postal code records. The SLI field includes 1's and 0's where 1's indicate the 'best' and 0's indicate duplicate records resulting from the pc straddling and EA or block-face. Then I used the "best" records to geocode!!!! Evidently, the "best" records also worked to create points for the PCCF. So, the Statscan data IS workable...........will wonders never cease. :-) Thanks again. Cheers!
