The clue is that what it's looking for and not finding is,
"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My"
That is, it's seeing your text up to where the line wraps.
SPSS character literals can't be continued across lines directly; but
closing the literal, appending '+', and continuing it on the next line,
works. Try this. (I'm breaking just before a '\'; and moving 'FIXED' to
a line by itself. Aesthetics, aesthetics...
