When I run John's syntax with psppire.exe 0.8.4-g5ce6b1 on Windows 7 64-bit, it seems to work fine. When I add /TOTAL there is no effect (because it's the default) but when I add /NOTOTAL, I get the following error instead of output: ".1: error: Syntax error at end of command: expecting variabl

Sorry Guys, but I just can't get this to work. The sub commands are not being recognised. It may help if one of you could get it to work and copy your syntax so I can see how it is supposed to look? The dependent variable is a scale and the separating variable is gender. That is all. Any scale wit

When you set up the GUI dialog, press "paste" (and NOT "OK") and the syntax window should appear and your syntax should be pasted into it. You can then edit that window to add the required options and then click Run > All. -Alan On 12/29/2014 9:35 AM, Terence Palmer wrote: > I am sorry to be so
