Character Encoding causing syntax to fail or terminate connection with server

Brad Kirby
Using the following code as example

[Code]

add files
  file = '/file1.sav'/
  file = '/file2.sav'.
exe.

aggregate outfile = '/file2.sav'/
  break = var1 var2 /
  sum = count(var3).

[/End Code]

You will see I am aggregating to a file that has just been added in the add
files command.

When Character Encoding is set to Locale, this is not a problem. When
character encoding is set to Unicode, this either a) throws an error saying
that file 2 is in use (when running Spss locally), or b) terminates
connection with the Spss server (when running in distributed mode).

I have a call logged with Spss about the disconnection from the Spss server,
but I want to know more about the difference between locale / Unicode and
why the above syntax worked in one and not the other when running locally.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Kind Regards
Brad
