I've got two SPSS files that I'm willing to send to anyone who wants to see
them.
File #1 - Created with SPSS 11 on Windows.
File #2 - Created with SPSS 20 on Linux (Ubuntu).
File number 1 opens normally in PSPP. File two does not. File #2 does opens
and the data imports (integers at least import OK), but I get a bunch of
warnings. The same thing happens in R (down to the errors), wihch makes sense.
As I remember, PSPP and R both use the same underlying system to import/open
SPSS data files.
I get the following warnings when opening file #2:
PSPP warning: "/home/andy/dev/spss-import/test-spss20.sav" near offset 0x148:
File specifies unexpected value -1.79769e+308 as LOWEST.
PSPP warning: "/home/andy/dev/spss-import/test-spss20.sav" near offset 0x164:
Invalid variable display parameters for variable 0 (DUMB). Default parameters
substituted.
PSPP warning: "/home/andy/dev/spss-import/test-spss20.sav" near offset 0x1c7:
Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 18. Please send a copy of this file, and
the syntax which created it to bug-gnu-p...@gnu.org.
The two files were made by hand and look like:
dumb dumber
1.0 1.0
2.0 2.0
I can send the files to anyone and everyone interested. I's like to figure this
thing out and fix the bug. I use PSPP & R in a corporate research environment
and can't afford for something to go wrong because of a change in SPSS' data
format.
