Re: PSPP-BUG: import numeric variable

[John Darrington]

Thanks for the bug report.

My guess is that you have your locale set to something other than an English
one.  

This means that the (F9.2) format specified in your syntax will expect
a comma as the decimal seperator.  But your poids.dat file uses dots
as the decimal seperator.

You can fix the problem either by setting the LC_NUMERIC component of 
your locale to one which uses dot as the decimal seperator, OR by 
putting the following line at the top of your syntax file:

SET DECIMAL=DOT.

     The the following program worked very well with version 6.2 . but with 
version
     7.8 the numeric variable doesn't  work
     Do you know why?
     The error message is: *poids.dat:1.14-1.22: warning: Data for variable 
POIDS
     is not valid as
     format F: Number followed by garbage.
     
     DATA LIST FILE="poids.dat" FREE/
         GKID (A12)
         POIDS (F9.2).
     SAVE OUT "poids.sav".
     *
     Attached poids.dat
     
     Thank you very much
     
     Nadine
