Hi Gene

This is a bug.

I have no  workaround yet.

Have fun

Is this a bug? I'm not sure.

As you know, I downloaded pspp from here

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pspp4windows/files/2017-11-16-ForTestingOnly/

downloading this file

pspp-20171116-daily-64bits-ForTestingOnly-setup.exe

I'm on windows 10, 64 bit on a laptop.

I am trying to use this data file qol_justdata.ods from here

https://sites.google.com/site/gsocialchange/datasets

I DID successfully read in qol_justdata.csv, which I made by loading qol_justdata.ods, and then saving as csv. So they are exactly the same data, just one is ods, one is csb.

Here is the process

open pspp

file

import data

go to my directory

click on QOL_JUSTDATA.ODS

click on "next" in lower right

click on "use first row as variable names"

(this file has only one sheet)

click on next in lower right

in Adjust Variable Format, none of my variables show up, just table with name, type, width, etc across the top, but nothing in the cells. Data preview cells are also empty.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

Thanks
