Macro + SPSSINC ROBUST REGR : Error

[drfg2008]

When I try to combine SPSSINC ROBUST REGR with a Macro, I get the following error message:

Error:  SPSS Statistics error:  The error code is '10'  With message 'Invalid variable index.'

This is the syntax:

DEFINE !robust (av = !tokens (1)
                        /title =!tokens(1)
                        /coef =!tokens(1)
                        /path=!tokens(1)).
DATASET ACTIVATE Tennis_other_Leagues.

SPSSINC ROBUST REGR DEPENDENT = !av  ENTER = standard_Back_1 standard_Lay_1
    standard_Back_2 standard_Lay_2
/OPTIONS MISSING=LISTWISE
/SAVE COEFSDATASET=!coef.
DATASET ACTIVATE !coef.
RENAME VARIABLES coefficient = !coef.
SAVE OUTFILE=!path.
!ENDDEFINE.


The 'funny' thing is that the whole syntax works as long as it is not saved and reopened again.

This probably means that you are referring to a nonexistent variable.  Run SET MPRINT ON and see what your actual generated SPSSINC ROBUST REGR command is and whether the active dataset is the one you expect.
