Many analyses are available in the Analyze menu from simple correlations to multivariate design but some are only available through the use of syntax. Canonical correlation is one such analysis; it is only available through syntax if you want to save values associated with it (e.g. canonical scores). A good reference for this stuff can be found here. First, import the CCdata.sav file. Next, open a new syntax window by going through File, New, and Syntax.
Next, find a particular file called "Canonical correlation.sps". This file should be located inside the English directory, which itself is inside the Samples directory of SPSS installation. Notice the file path in the syntax below. With the new syntax window open, we need to type the following syntax. Pay particular attention to the periods at the end of the first line and the third line of syntax. Also note; the variable names are in lower case in lines 2 and 3 of the syntax.
It is important to note at the outset; when the cancorr function is run, it will alter the existing data set by saving canonical scores as new variables to the right of any existing variables in the data set. Now highlight all three lines of the syntax and then click on the big green (run selection) arrow / triangle in the tool bar.
Submit the syntax and it runs properly; look at the new (altered) data file which is noticeable because of the new variables listed to the right of the original variables. The top / beginning of the output should look similar to that displayed below. Note that most of the output is simply text. Also note that here there were 3 canonical solutions. Generally, the first canonical solution is the best. Notice the actual canonical correlation for the first solution located at the top, inside the red ellipse (rc = .353). Of course, this would not be the only statistic interpreted or reported with canonical correlation. The remaining output provides all the standardized and raw loadings and coefficients, as well as the variate correlations that are necessary parts of interpreting a canonical solution.

A canonical correlation was performed in order to determine if there is a relationship between two sets of variables, one measuring communication apprehension and the other measuring neuroticism. One significant canonical correlation function was found from the analysis. In this function, Rc = .391, indicating that 15.3% of the variance between the two variates is shared. The Wilks Lambda statisitic was found to be significant through a chi-square test, with df = 24 and p < .001. The other three, possible canonical correlation functions were not found significant. Of the six variables included in Set 1, all six variables have significant loadings in CV1-1 (A1: I dislike participating in group discussions; A3: I am tense and nervous while participating in group discussion; A7: Generally, I am nervous when I have to participate in a meeting; A11: Communicating at meetings usually makes me uncomfortable; A13: While participating in a conversation with a new acquaintance, I feel very nervous; A14: I have no fear of speaking up in
conversation). CV1-1 accounts for 39.9% of the variance in Set 1, while the other variate, CV21, shares 6.1 % of its variance with Set 1. Of the four variables in Set 2, three have significant loadings (C4: Does your mind often wander when you are trying to concentrate?; C6: Do you sometimes feel happy, sometimes depressed, without any apparent reason?; C9: Are you frequently lost in thought even when supposed to be taking part in a conversation?). CV2-1 accounts for 32.6% of the variance in Set 2. The other variate, CV1-1, shares 4.9% of the variance with Set 2. There was only one significant relationship found in the canonical correlation.CV1-1 had significant loadings for all of the variables in set 1 (six total variables), while CV2-1 had significant loadings for three out of the four total variables in set 2. Therefore, in Set 1, the canonical variate will remain labeled as Communication Apprehension, and Set 2 will be renamed Neuroticism without moodiness. All of the loadings for the canonical variate in Set 1 are positive (see Note) except for question A14 (I have no fear of speaking up in public). All of the loadings for the canonical variate in Set 2 are negative. Therefore, the more communication apprehension a subject shows, the less neurotic (without moodiness) the respondent will be.
