For binomial logistic regression, and auto classifier models that include a binomial logistic regression model, string fields are limited to a maximum of eight characters. Where strings are more than eight characters, they can be recoded using a Reclassify node.
This example uses the stream named reclassify_strings.str, which references the data file named drug_long_name. These files are available from the Demos directory of any IBM® SPSS® Modeler installation. This can be accessed from the IBM® SPSS® Modeler program group on the Windows Start menu. The reclassify_strings.str file is in the streams directory.
