Error 4511 (or similar) for do...repeat

Out of the blue last night, Previously working syntax with do repeat started throwing off the following error message (or something similar:

Error # 4511 in column 1024. Text: (End of Command) Undefined error #4511 - not found in file "C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\SPSS\STATIS~1\24\lang\en\spss.err"

I googled this and found one very specific reference to this issue (from which I copied this message). The URL for this was:

https://developer.ibm.com/answers/questions/371372/getting-undefined-error-4511/. The date of this post was this year.

I use Windows 8.1 on a 4 year old Dell Laptop and have SPSS 24.0.0.1 which I bought last summer. I thought I got tech support for a year but was told I had to buy it when I contacted them a while ago about something else.

This is really annoying, as do repeat is my friend.

My Windows 8.1 recently did an update (nowhere near the disaster that Window 10 Creator has been for some), but my code has been working since that update. Closing down and rebooting did not help.

Does anyone know what's up with this, how to fix it, or whether there are any patches?

Re: Error 4511 (or similar) for do...repeat

The problem at your citation has the code

do repeat z=acuteh.1 acuteh.2 acuteh.3 acuteh.4 acuteh.5 acuteh.6 acuteh.7 acuteh.8 acuteh.9/

a=subacute.1 subacute.2 subacute.3 subacute.4 subacute.5 subacute.6 subacute.7 subacute.8 subacute.9/

b=duration0 to duration9.

I note that a problem will arise for that code because z and a run from 1 to 9 and b has 10 elements (presumably)

since the indexes are 0 to 9. - I can imagine how the error message can fit, though I would wish for a plainer one.

If I read right, that was not your code. If your problem is not the same, please post your own code.

The error message is actually reporting that the intended error message is not in the error message file. That should be reported as a bug.

Yes, please post the code that is generating the error message. Including a small data set (using DATA LIST) that others can use to duplicate the problem would also be very helpful.

In reply to this post by LHorst

I was in a hurry to get a project done when this error cropped up. I dumped the code and created my variables one at a time. However, it was of the general form:

do repeat r = v1 v2 v3 v4 / s = va vb vc vd / t = var1 var2 var3 var4.

compute t = (s/100)*r.

end repeat.

Much simpler than the example I found where someone else got this error while attempting a do...repeat sequence.

Subject: Reshape from Long to Wide

Hello all,

good morning. I am trying to reshape a data from wide to long to use for a
GENLIN model.

Each respondent in the data was asked to name 3 associates who they ask for
help (named Fr1, Fr2, Fr3) and 3 others who they seek advice from (Sis1,
Sis2, Sis3).

They were also asked to provide a number of information about each
associates, for example, their age (Fr1_Age....Sis3_Age).

Respondents also report their Age, Gender, etc (called R_Age, R_Gender).

I want to reshape the data from wide to long, as shown in the image posted
here: * https://ibb.co/bBVpoQ <https://ibb.co/bBVpoQ>.*

I am able to do it for one of the relations, using the following command:

VARSTOCASES
/MAKE trans1 FROM Fr_Alters_1 Fr_Alters_2 Fr_Alters_3
/MAKE trans2 FROM Age1 Age2 Age3
/INDEX=Index1(3)
/KEEP=id R_Age1 R_Age2 R_Age3 Relation1 Relation2 Relation3
/NULL=KEEP.

However, I am not been successful in getting the command to reproduce the
two relations at the same time.

I will appreciate some help from you all in accomplishing this.

thanks - Cy

Re: Follow up about error 4511

Silly goose! The "general form" works fine or there would be, what, revolt?

The error that /I/ pointed to in your cited link was essentially typographical. Typo. Think-o.

RUN your section of code that fails, and copy to us the lines and the error. If you don't spot what's wrong already.

I've run similar do repeats for other variables i the same file without

Re: Follow up about error 4511

Hey,
I pasted it like raw text, could that have been the problem?

Actually this problem solved itself in that i realised I had messed up the
do repeat lists (missed a "fill down" in Excel - classic). So I don't think
my message is relevant anymore.

Thanks David and Bruce!
I am new to the message function in this forum, will not happen again ;)
But as I mentioned, I found the problem and it was far from an "relevant"
one, just a simple slip-up from my side. So I don't see the point in posting
the syntax anymore. Let me know if you disagree.
