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.
