Hi,
I recently upgraded from SPSS v19 to v22, and my old code that ran perfectly well in v19 now fails to execute correctly in v22.
Basically, I am running a rather lengthy code (~1000 lines), and when trying to execute, SPSS freezes up, then unfreezes, and 2x-4x dialog windows pop up saying (timeout waiting for server response). The exact point where SPSS will freeze up seems random, but it is generally on rather simple commands (compute, dataset close, etc.). Trying to execute parts of the code seems to suggest that the problem is linked not to any one command, but to the entire block of commands that you try to run.
I did some digging (via connection bar in system manager), and it seems that spssengine.exe is talking to stats.exe via local ports when executing code (why it does this, I have no idea). Eventually, the traffic between the two starts dropping, falls down to zero, and both programs disappear from the active connections list. Then they appear again, and spss tries to contact the license server, and tries to execute the rest of the code again.
Apparently the number of times SPSS loses connection between spssengine and stats.exe (and hence the number of times it starts up again and tries to reconnect to the license server) cause the dialog windows to appear (the exact number of times).
Does anyone know why this occurs? Could it be that the amount of code I am trying to run at any one time is limited in v22 compared to v19?
P.S.
