Yes, that was the problem, I think.
I changed the path for the temporary file folder, to another disk where I
have more free space.
Thank you everyone for your answers!

Asunto: Re: Error sorting a big data set
Hi
I regularly sort larger files without any problems.
My guess is that your ran out of disk space. For a sort, SPSS needs disk
space at least 3 times the size of the original file.

By the way, "a big data set" is, in this case, a data set with 10,451,034
rows and 234 variables. I want to sort it by two variables: one of them is
numeric, and the other is a date.
Is the size the reason for the error? Any way to solve this?
