I'm guessing here without giving this much thought but maybe your version of SPSS does not offer TSPLOT?

[My response yesterday did not make it to Nabble...]

My first thought was TSPLOT, but the error says that the
variables are not there -- not, that the command was bad.

You don't *have*  to do anything.  You have your main analysis.

TSPLOT is the final command in the file, apparently making
a scree plot.  There is no similar command in either the SAS
or other setup file, so this was a bonus for the SPSS version. 


There is a SAVE, followed by a GET.  It looks to me like the
word "results" has no business in appearing on that SAVE
line:  The SAVE is for a Matrix, and maybe it does serve a
function that I don't know of, but it looks out of place.

Try removing that word, and see what happens.

Was there an error for either the SAVE or the GET?

The SPSS code on that site is sad!!!!
Maybe O'Conner should research DEFINE !ENDDEFINE before further defiling the internet with additional contributions!
