Error # 99 This command is only valid immediately following the GGRAPH procedure.

[dennisz]

When I run the code below in my syntax editor I get an error message saying:

Error # 99.  Command name: BEGIN GPL  
    >This command is only valid immediately following the GGRAPH procedure.  
    >Execution of this command stops.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Kind Regards,

Do the procedures above that appear correctly in the log?
Without further information a SWAG would be that the command before the GGRAPH does not have a period. So the GGRAPH is taken as part of whatever was before it.

Thanks Art.  Not for the first time, you have educated me.  But I'm still not entirely sure whether you intended definition 2 or 3.  ;-)

Hi Art,

Thanks a lot for your support. I'm really into trouble here. I've checked the Log file. Here's an exact copy:

GET
 FILE='C:\Users\Dennis\Documents\BCM\BCM_Q3_WORKSHOP.sav'.
DATASET NAME DataSet1 WINDOW=FRONT.
* Chart Builder.
GGRAPH
 /GRAPHDATASET NAME="graphdataset" VARIABLES=V18 COUNT()[name="COUNT"] MISSING=LISTWISE REPORTMISSING=NO
 /GRAPHSPEC SOURCE=INLINE
 TEMPLATE=[
 "C:\Users\Dennis\BCM_Chart_template_8.sgt"].
 BEGIN GPL
 SOURCE: s=userSource(id("graphdataset"))
 DATA: V18=col(source(s), name("V18"), unit.category())
 DATA: COUNT=col(source(s), name("COUNT"))
 COORD: polar.theta(startAngle(0))
 GUIDE: axis(dim(1), null())
 GUIDE: legend(aesthetic(aesthetic.color.interior), label("Percentage of your fleet not in use?"))
 SCALE: linear(dim(1), dataMinimum(), dataMaximum())
 SCALE: cat(aesthetic(aesthetic.color.interior), include("0", "1", "2", "4", "5"))
 ELEMENT: interval.stack(position(summary.percent(COUNT))), color.interior(V18))
 END GPL.

So it seems there is no issue with a period. Also my syntax editor does not change the color of the words in the syntax between BEGIN GPL and END GPL. Like it does not recognise that section as code. Could you test it in your syntax editor and see what happens?
Any other suggestions?

Kind regards,

Dennis

[dennisz]

Bruce,

Can you make a SWAG Def 2 or 3 to resolve my problem? I'm almost desparate enough to call my SWAG def 4.

regards,

Dennis

[Art Kendall]

I never saw 2, but maybe it could be 2because not ending a previous statement is a thing that has caused such problems in the past.

Your syntax pasted into my copy of PASW(SPSS) does color the elements of GGRAPH.

The syntax below except for the GET was created via the GUI.  It also does not color between BEGIN GPL and END GPL.
It does color those commands.
The first set is a copy of the second set with "world95" changed to "nonexistent".
Note that the first GET generates error 99.  See if you have such a message higher up in your log.
GET
  FILE='C:\Program Files\SPSSInc\PASWStatistics18\Samples\English\nonexistent.sav.sav'.
DATASET NAME DataSet1 WINDOW=FRONT.

  /GRAPHSPEC SOURCE=INLINE.

  SOURCE: s=userSource(id("graphdataset"))
  DATA: lifeexpm=col(source(s), name("lifeexpm"))

  GUIDE: axis(dim(2), label("Average female life expectancy"))
  ELEMENT: point(position(lifeexpm*lifeexpf))
END GPL.

Did you create the GGRAPH and GPL via the GUI or write it yourself?

Art,

You have triggered me, and now I have found the solution. Maybe it's because I'm not experience enough with the Syntax editor, but when I select all lines of the code in the sytax editor and then run it, its OK. I didn't know you HAVE to select all lines before you can run the script. I do some PHP programming in my spare time, and a PHP parser always runs the full script, regardless of the lines selected.

Anyway: thanks a lot for your support. this will save me a lot of time!

Kind regards,

Dennis

[Art Kendall]

Yes that would do it if you do not have a data file activated.

You don't have to select all the lines but you do need to select at least
the last line of the GGRAPH command and some part of the BEGIN GPL command.
I just mouse select over the middle of the pair to run both commands.
