Script now working after upgrade to 19.0.0.2 - please help

[Nirit Avnimelech]

Hi all,

I have a script that used to work fine until I installed SP2…  I need the SP2, but I also need the script!  It's a WWB script that merges pivot tables with their "comparison of column proportions/means" significance tables.  I know many of you will tell me to use SPSSINC MERGE TABLES, but that doesn't work for me!

Anyway, I keep getting the following errors and phenomena:

In the Output Viewer, as log:

Error : (10094) ActiveX Automation:      Object var is 'Nothing'.   (I always get this one)

Error: (&h800405e9) an error occured in pivot table library    (I sometimes get this one, as well)

Then I get a WWB pop up window that says:

sync httpsendrequest failed: getlasterror (12002)

 

The tables are sometimes merged, in spite of the error claims, but in a different way than normal:

- The capital letters that are added to the first (labels) row appear only for the first column (e.g., only "A")

- All non-significant cells become aligned to the right

- In a few cases some cell (those with significance notations) turn from pct formatting to scientific (i.e., 1E)

 

I work on Windows 7 64 bit, if that matters.

 

Mysterious are the ways SPSS thinks!  Another phenomenon, which doesn't bother me, for example, is that it has a special affinity to the line "*SKIP CHECK." (notice the * in the beginning of the line, which should turn it into a comment).  I have this line in several of my syntax files, since I do a lot of QC.  Since installing SP2, whenever it gets to this line, the processor re-runs the previous command again.  When I added an underscore ("*SKIP_CHECK.") this didn't happen anymore.  Go figure!

Since you have not bothered to post your code, likely scenario is NOBODY CAN HELP YOU!
Use some common sense and help us help you!
