Try changing the name of the file on the AGGREGATE command to see if it still gives the warnings. I suspect SPSS still thinks that particular data file is open, in which case you can not overwrite an already open file.

For reasons I cannot fathom, the OP ("aruizga7") deleted their post from the Nabble archive.  I'm just restoring it to provide context for Andy's answer (and any other answers that might be posted).

I'm doing an aggregate on spss and it shows error: Error opening an SPSS
Statistic System file: " file name" permission denied (DATA1201) I opened
the file name linked and I was able to open it, I'm also sure I have the
permission to write or edit data in that folder, so do you know why it shows
I have no permission? Thanks!
