Re: Pspp 1.2.0 - No frequencies

[John Darrington]

Indeed, like Rainer says, most of the data are SYSMIS.

So if that is not what you expected, then the question is how did you
create this file?  This .sav file was itself saved by PSPP, but how was
the data imported?  Please show the syntax you used to import, and
the original raw data.

     Michele & the glorious group of PSPP,
     
     89,9% of cells contain missing values - maybe some of these slipped 
somewhere into a
     denominator thus ending up with NaNs in the output?

         HI.
         A quick update.
         I have saved the data set as text file and imported into PSPP (using 
GUI).
         Done a frequency and now it works.
     
         I guess that inserting data using the GUI could cause some odd 
behaviour.

         Hi.
         Apologies for the delay, but been very busy.
         On my Fedora 29:
         The pspp --version:
         pspp (GNU PSPP) 1.2.0
         Copyright (C) 2018 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
     
         When I have executed the code provided by John everything worked as 
expected.
     
         I guess that the problem is to be found in the data itself.
         I have used the GUI to insert data, after creating variables using the 
syntax.
         For example:
         Numeric surveytype (F8.0).
         Variable label surveytype 'Paper or online survey'.
         Value labels surveytype
         1 'Paper'
         2 'Online'.
         Execute.
         Once the variable was created, I manually inserted 1 or 2.
     
         I will try to create a new data set using the syntax command or 
importing data from
         text file and see what happens.
         Obviously I'm open to suggestions.
     
         Thanks,
         Michele

         It would be helpful if you would state precisely *which* version you 
are
         using. Simply saying "the latest version" is not helpful. Different
         operating systems package different versions at different times so each
         has a different idea of what the "latest" is. Use "pspp --version" to
         find out which version you're actually using.
     
         Also, although you pasted the output from the frequencies command, you
         did not share with us the input that you used, so it's hard for us to
         say why it didn't work as you expected.
     
         Normally the "count" (ie: the number of cases with the given value)
         appears in the column labeled "Frequency". In the output you posted
         all frequencies (counts) are zero. So if this is not what you expected,
         then perhaps there is something wrong with the way you entered the 
data.
     
         I'm using pspp version 1.2.0, and the syntax below seems to work
         fine for me. I suggest that you start from there and see how you go.

           I have installed the latest release from sourceforge on windows and 
the
           latest package using dfn in Fedora 29.
           Both had the same issue.
           I'm going away for few days, but I'll try to install a different 
version in
           windows when I'm back.
           I am a bit surprised that such a problem could creep up in a release
           version, since it's something very basic and that everyone does.
