INCLUDE command goof ups

I would appreciate any insights. INCLUDE has a quirk. How might I fix
it? The Value Labels syntax file operates properly if I open and Run it. It triggers the error message when I launch it via an INCLUCE statement from a separate syntax file, as shown below. Of note, what shows as Line 19 of the included file in reality is the third line of that file. To repeat, the file adds the value labels instantly when the code is Run directly from the file rather than through the INCLUDE command process. What's up with this? GET FILE='C:\Documents and Settings\ntrondse\Desktop\Screens thru Nov 07.sav'. INCLUDE FILE='C:\Documents and Settings\ntrondse\Desktop\MCValueLabels.sps'. 17 VALUE LABELS 18 /County_c 19 1 "Alameda" >Error # 1 on line 19.

I've read Raynald's suggestions and a few archived postings. None of those sources addresses this particular weirdness. GET FILE='C:\Documents and Settings\ntrondse\Desktop\Screens thru Nov 07.sav'.

This is not a quirk and is documented--INCLUDE follows batch syntax rules.
Batch syntax rules are 1) All commands must start in column 1; 2) all continuations to commands must start after column 1 3) the command terminator is not required to signal the end of a command. Use the INSERT command instead of the INCLUDE command which provides more control. -----Original Message----- From: SPSSX(r) Discussion [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Trondsen, Norman(CDPH-CLPPB) Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 4:32 PM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: INCLUDE command goof ups I would appreciate any insights.
