SPSSINC GETURI DATA

[drfg2008]

If I use the following syntax, everythings works fine, except of an error message that occurs. I don't quite understand the error (and how to stop it)

DATASET ACTIVATE DatenSet0.
SPSSINC GETURI DATA
URI="http://spss-seminar.de/tu-berlin.sav"
FILETYPE=SAV DATASET=frank
/OPTIONS
SHEETNUMBER=1 READNAMES=YES ASSUMEDSTRWIDTH=32767.


Error: Cannot set to original name.  File probably already exists.
        Opening under temporary name.  Original  name is
tu-berlin.sav

This command works by retrieving the file and saving it under a temporary name.  It then tries to rename it with the original name.  If that fails, you get the message you are seeing.  The error occurs usually because there is already a file with the same name in that location.  This might happen if you retrieve the same file twice in a row.  It could also happen if the original file name is not legal on your particular OS (unlikely in this case).  But the error is harmless.  It just means that the file has a temporary name.  You can save it from Statistics in the usual way.  You probably don't want to leave it in the temporary directory anyway.

Thank you! (But the error is harmless. )
