SPSS 27 - issues with computed categories in custom tables

Wonder if anyone else has experienced problems with custom tables refusing to run when computed categories are specified (e.g. making a category which adds cats. of fairly and extremely satisfied)

getting this message

Warnings
Subcommand CATEGORIES: Computed category &cat10 is not recognized.
Execution of this command stops.

Doesn't seem to be any issues with data file and never had this before v.27

Any thoughts welcome

Can you provide a small reproducible example (i.e., a small dataset and code)? Thanks.

I haven't ever seen that come up. Please post the CTABLES syntax where it occurred.

p.s. If you need a formula beyond what is supported with post computes, the STATS TABLE CALC extension command can handle much more general expressions for almost any table type - not just CTABLES.
