Error in Canonical Correlation Macro

[George Emerson D'Umbra-2]

Hi,

 

Am I doing something wrong or there is an error in the Canonical Correlation Macro?

When I try to run the original file I got the error:

 

4746  0 M>  SAVE OUTFILE canonical_correlation_names_.

 

Error # 5307 in column 14.  Text: canonical_correlation_names_

The file specification on the SAVE, XSAVE, or SAVE DATA COLLECTION command is

not valid.  It cannot be a dataset name, and if a location is specified, it

must refer to an existing directory.

Execution of this command stops.

 

There IS a dataset named canonical_correlation_names_ and if I change the syntax in lines 340 and 371 (340 saves and 371 reads the file) then it runs fine.

 

Has anyone experienced that?

 

Regards,

George

"if I change the syntax ..."
Hmmm, what changes are you making?
Why are you changing it?  
It was well tested and very robust after I redesigned it in 1996!!
Maybe it got broken by a re-redesign?

Line 45 is
dataset declare canonical_correlation_names_ .
and line 340 is
SAVE OUTFILE canonical_correlation_names_ .

Apparently, you cannot save a file with a name already being used by a dataset.
So I changed to
SAVE OUTFILE canonical_correlation_names_.sav . (also changed line 371 which reads this file)
And it worked!

There were no dataset commands back in 1996, so it got broken after this re-redesign!!

What's the expression?
If it AIN'T BROKEN DON'T FIX IT!
I have no idea what the current version looks like but it worked fine back in the day.
