Locked

Hi,
I got the errors below when runnig INSERT FILE='C:\directory\labels.sps'. Got same error running INCLUDE. Does anyone have an idea what is going on? >Error # 1 on line 1244. Command name: ï

Maybe you should inspect the file 'C:\directory\labels.sps'.

Thank you for your quick response, David. The file 'C:\directory\labels.sps' has only labels, same as many other files I INSERT w/o errors.
var lab field_id '(field id) Field ID'
chi_id '(chi_id) Child ID ' pagelink '(pagelink) Pagelink ' .... . val lab /ema_1 0 '(0) incorrect' 1 '(1) correct' 9 '(9) no response'
/ema_2 0 '(0) incorrect' 1 '(1) correct' 9 '(9) no response' /ema_3 0 '(0) incorrect' 1 '(1) correct' 9 '(9) no response' ... .

This may be caused by attempting to run
a Unicode INSERT or INCLUDE file while running Statistics in code page
mode.
When you create and save a syntax file in Unicode mode, Statistics inserts a byte order mark (BOM) at the beginning of the file. The BOM is not displayed in Unicode mode, but in code page mode, Statistics may be trying to read the BOM as part of the first command.

Have you searched that file for the presence of "ï" (umlaut i)?

I did search "ï" in both the code and the file to be INSERTed, Bruce, but couldn't find it.
Thanks, vlad

Yep, you got the answer Rick! I (wrongly) saved the file as UTF-8 and after re-saving not as unicode, it runs as smooth as always.
Thank you all! vlad

I suspect a character encoding mismatch.
Does your file contain any extended characters (accented, Cyrillic,
or such)? Are you in Unicode or code page mode, and is your SPSS
locale consistent with the file?
If you want to send me the file, I can figure this out.

The BOM is not displayed in Unicode mode, but in code page mode, Statistics may be trying to read the BOM as part of the first command. Interesting. Is the BOM to indicate that the file is in utf-8 (even if all the subsequent characters are plain ascii, 0-127), or is it used to indicate the endianness of the file? Or yet something else?

utf-8 does not care about endianness. Statistics
writes a BOM on a Unicode syntax file and uses that to determine that the
file is in Unicode in the absence of other evidence.
