Cluster analysis

[Alina Sheyman]

Hi all,
   I'm trying to run cluster analysis on some of the variables in my
dataset. I'm using the following syntax -

PROXIMITIES  q68 q177 q179 q180 q748 q66  q1435 q1261 q749 q70 q71 q72
q1084 q1085 q1265 q1086  q1278 q1280 q1282

  /MATRIX OUT  ('F:\Research\Research Data Files\cluster
analysis\Temp\spssclus.tmp')
  /VIEW= CASE
  /MEASURE= SEUCLID
  /PRINT  NONE
  /STANDARDIZE= VARIABLE Z .
CLUSTER
  /MATRIX IN  ('F:\Research\Research Data Files\cluster
analysis\Temp\spssclus.tmp')
  /METHOD BAVERAGE
  /PRINT SCHEDULE
  /SAVE CLUSTER(6) .
ERASE FILE= 'F:\Research\Research Data Files\cluster
analysis\Temp\spssclus.tmp'.

SPSS is having issues with something in this syntax and keeps returning an
error message. Any ideas on what's wrong with this syntax?

What error message does it give?
