SPSS 14.0 Failed to Create Object Error

Jim Moffitt
I have a string variable named Q6_oth that contains some open-ended
responses to a questionnaire. I ran the syntax listed below to identify
only those cases that contain text and then run a case summay report
containing the respondent ID number and the text from Q6_oth. The case
summary table is properly generated in my output but when I try to open
the pivot table containing the case summary table I get the follwoing
error message.
 
"SPSS 14.0 for Windows. Failed to create object. Make sure object is
entered in system registry."
 
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this so I can open, copy, and paste
the case summary table into an Excel spreadsheet?
 
Thanks.
 
Here's my syntax:
USE ALL.

COMPUTE filter_$=(length(rtrim(Q13_6oth))) > 0.

VARIABLE LABEL filter_$ =(length(rtrim(Q13_6oth))) > 0 (FILTER)'.

VALUE LABELS filter_$ 0 'Not Selected' 1 'Selected'.

FORMAT filter_$ (f1.0).

FILTER BY filter_$.

EXECUTE.

SUMMARIZE

/TABLES=RESP_KEY Q13_6oth

/FORMAT=VALIDLIST NOCASENUM TOTAL

/TITLE='Case Summaries'

/MISSING=VARIABLE

/CELLS=COUNT .
