Dear Listers,
I am running desktop SPSS version 21 (Statistics, 64 bit) on Windows 7 and my colleague is running desktop SPSS 20 (Base) on Windows 7. When we run the same syntax with the same TXT file she receives an INVALID ENCODING error - ENCODING is currently set to 'LOCALE'. After reviewing the archives and Google, I thought I would ask the experts. See Syntax and Error Message Below. Does anyone have a suggested solution to our issue? Thank you in advance.

The error message is odd, but the ENCODING
subcommand was introduced in release 21; so it will generate an error in
release 20.
