SPSS 16.01 Excel input bug?

David Hitchin
I'm trying to read part of an Excel spreadsheet, specifying the range
that I want to read. The syntax generated is
GET DATA /TYPE=XLS
   /FILE='C:\\Datafile.xls'
   /SHEET=name 'Raw Data'
   /CELLRANGE=range 'B2:T300'
   /READNAMES=on
   /ASSUMEDSTRWIDTH=32767.

This works correctly in SPSS 15, and works in 16.01 when the same syntax
is pasted in, but when trying to do it in 16.01 on a point-and-click
basis with the menus it fails with the message:
"The range B2:T300 is not within the sheet's range of cells."

This looks like a bug in 16.01. Can anyone else confirm this, please?
