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?

I will send the dataset at the weekend.
Best regards,

I'm glad you got the analysis to work. Are you able to share the dataset
that didn't
work?

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.
Regards,
Michele

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.
PS: Please read chapter 20 of the manual for tips on providing useful
bug reports.

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.
