Re: please help if you can by running some syntax under SPSS

[Bastián Díaz]

Test performed with SPSS v21 (Linux) in fedora.

I tried to run multiple times with the same results syntax and throws the error 2269 in the command "GET DATA" (fails to open file: spssdata.csv).

Moreover, when trying to open the CSV file, I got another error: "The Unicode encoding of this file is not supported by the Text Wizard. You can use the DATA LIST command to read UTF-16 text data files."

Asunto: please help if you can by running some syntax under SPSS

A few months ago a user reported that some syntax and data from a survey
website did not work properly with PSPP:
        http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/pspp-users/2013-05/msg00028.html

The problem was that the website produces files whose lines end only
with carriage returns (CRs), not with either line feeds (LFs) or CR+LF
pairs, as is conventional.

My question now is whether these files work with SPSS.  I'm attaching
samples output by the survey website.  If you have access to SPSS, then
I would appreciate it if you would try these files out and report back
the results.

Thanks,

Ben.
