Data Exported doesn't show on SPSS

Post by MuleFena »

Dear CSPro users,

I have a CSPro application which works well and exported on my local machine from Dropbox. When I tried to open by SPSS, it refused to open.

The exported data is attached for further look

Kindly looking for your kind support,

You need to import the data into SPSS by running the import script that CSPro generates. See the online help for Export Data: https://www.csprousers.org/help/CSExpor ... _spss.html

Hi Josh,

Thank so much, Yes I did that. But the data doesn't come to main SPSS window.

I attached the errors which popups during running and that couldn't fix them.

Hi all,

Is the below statement is true ? Does this work for variables with both Alpha and Num data types??

if SPSS reports syntax errors when reading your syntax file, it is most likely because you have variable names which are longer than 8 characters in your CSPro data dictionary. SPSS does not support variable names greater than 8 characters.

I think it depends on the version of SPSS.
