Hello Damir. Have you tried generating the SORT command syntax via the GUI, exiting via the PASTE command? This would eliminate any typos that might have crept in.
https://libguides.library.kent.edu/SPSS/SortDataAlternatively, try pasting the variable name into your syntax window from the Variables utility--see item 3 here:

PS- IIRC, you do not need EXECUTE after SORT CASES!

Greetings,
I was struggling to identify the origins of the following ERROR. While I know that the variable name is in the dataset, I still receive the following ERROR message. Where am I going wrong and how can I address this issue. I am currently using V25 with a windows computer, 64 bit.
Thank you
Damir
SORT CASES BY SystemPersonNumber (A) CASE_FILING_DATE_TIME (A) CALENDAR_SET_DATE (A) .
EXECUTE.
