Hi John, I did not import the data. My steps: 1. Open a BLANK data file using the GUI. 2. Create empty variables using the syntax. (For example: String var (A3) .. Numeric var (F8.0) ... ) 3. Manually enter the data using the GUI, one cell at the time. 4. Do a frequency of a variable using the GUI and using syntax command. Results: all values had frequency of 0.
There was no "Original raw data", no syntax to import the file. As I have stated in my previous email, when I did import a text data file, then Frequencies worked.
