Re:[done] Cannot run SPSS Syntax file 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago Karma: 0  
Hello,

I can open syntax file, but when I try to run it, I got some error. What should I do to obtain a syntax file that I will be able to execute ? You may see what I got below.

NEW FILE.
FILE TYPE NESTED RECORD=1(A).
- RECORD TYPE 'A'.
- DATA LIST LIST / i0(A1) (8) (11) (34) (2) (19) (2) (15) (2) (1) (1) (1) (10) (
1) (3) (1) (2) (1) (1) (1) (1).

>Error # 4111 in column 27. Text: (
>Unrecognized text appears on the DATA LIST command where only a slash ('/'
>or a variable list was permitted.
>This command not executed.

Thanks.

As I posted some posts before:
If you have errors on the latest build/version, report them in the bugtracker (attach your survey structure and your spss output file)!

Which SPSS version are you using? I think there are differences.

Re:[done] Cannot run SPSS Syntax file 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago Karma: 0  
I have the same problem and have upgraded to latest svn a few minutes ago (#5041). I use SPSS 15. This is (part of) my SPSS file:

Code:
NEW FILE.
FILE TYPE NESTED RECORD=1(A).
- RECORD TYPE 'A'.
- DATA LIST LIST / i0(A1) fname(A40) lname(A40) email(A100) attr1(A100) attr2(A100) d6(DATETIME20.0) d7(A19) d8(A2) d9(A15) d10(A19) d11(A19) d12(A4) d13(A2) d14(N1) d15(A27) d16(N1) (44) (38) (1) (27).

- RECORD TYPE 'B'.
- DATA LIST LIST / i1(A1) (1).
END FILE TYPE.


So the last variables get no variable name and data type. When I name them d17, d18 etc and given then A datatype it seems to work so probably somewhere in a loop it stops a little bit too early.... Also noticed something strange near the first date type. I already filed some SPSS bugs but I think they can be closed since a lot has changed since then (01926 and 02028). I am willing to file a new bug report and send in my survey structure, data and spss output but the info is confidential so I think emailing it would be the best option if it is needed??

Please fill out another ticket at the bugtrackr and add your survey. You can mark your ticket "private" so that only the developers will be able to take a look at it.

Re:HowTo open LimeSurvey .sps files in SPSS 5 Months, 1 Week ago Karma: 0  
Hi,
I have done as you suggest here with my SPSS export from Limesurvey 1.7 (I have SPSS 16.0 - which does NOT allow the patch for large files to be installed because I have an academic licence - agh!) and I gt this message:
<<Couldn't count fields in tokens<br />SHOW COLUMNS FROM [tokens_49896]<br />[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'FROM'.>>
I'm really not sure what this refers to. I get the same message if I try to open the sps file in WordPad as one of the others in this forum suggested.
