V17: output export doesn't work

Ruben Geert van den Berg
Dear all,
 
This is at least the second time I encounter this problem: SPSS v17 seems to ignore the command 'output export'. Even if I use the GUI to generate the syntax,

* Export Output.
OUTPUT EXPORT
  /CONTENTS  EXPORT=VISIBLE  LAYERS=PRINTSETTING  MODELVIEWS=PRINTSETTING
  /DOC  DOCUMENTFILE=
    '\\Nltnsam-fs01\a1500\PROJECT\Overig\Models&Methods\Feb_10\Anna\Overzichtjes_2.doc'
     NOTESCAPTIONS=YES  WIDETABLES=WRAP
     PAGESIZE=MM(419.9999999999999, 297.0)  TOPMARGIN=MM(25.4)  BOTTOMMARGIN=MM(25.400000000000034)
     LEFTMARGIN=MM(25.4)  RIGHTMARGIN=MM(25.399999999999977).
 
all I get is
 

Export Summary

Viewer

  

 
 
Am I doing something wrong or is this just the millionth bug in V17 that's going to bother me until I can up (or preferably) downgrade? Any workaround?
 
TIA!

Dear Ruben,

The problem here appears to be a bug related to the presence of the "&" (ampersand) character in the path for the saved file. I replicate the problem on Release 17.0.3 using a similar path specification. If I change that to an underscore, for example, the export takes place just fine. The original specification works correctly on Release 18.0.1. Please try adjusting the folder name to work around the ampersand issue and see if that doesn't allow you to export the output. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

Dear David,
 
Thanks, that's an easy workaround! I noticed that it doesn't make a difference whether the path name is or isn't included in the syntax. For instance,
 
cd 'c:\temp'.
 
* Export Output.
OUTPUT EXPORT
  /CONTENTS  EXPORT=VISIBLE  LAYERS=PRINTSETTING  MODELVIEWS=PRINTSETTING
  /DOC  DOCUMENTFILE='Test.doc'
     NOTESCAPTIONS=YES  WIDETABLES=WRAP
     PAGESIZE=MM(419.9999999999999, 297.0)  TOPMARGIN=MM(25.4)  BOTTOMMARGIN=MM(25.400000000000034)
     LEFTMARGIN=MM(25.4)  RIGHTMARGIN=MM(25.399999999999977).

works fine but
 
cd'\\Nltnsam-fs01\a1500\PROJECT\Overig\Models&Methods\Feb_10\Anna'.
 
* Export Output.
OUTPUT EXPORT
  /CONTENTS  EXPORT=VISIBLE  LAYERS=PRINTSETTING  MODELVIEWS=PRINTSETTING
  /DOC  DOCUMENTFILE='Test.doc'
     NOTESCAPTIONS=YES  WIDETABLES=WRAP
     PAGESIZE=MM(419.9999999999999, 297.0)  TOPMARGIN=MM(25.4)  BOTTOMMARGIN=MM(25.400000000000034)
     LEFTMARGIN=MM(25.4)  RIGHTMARGIN=MM(25.399999999999977).
 
doesn't. Well, I'll just rename the folder. Problem solved.
 
Best regards and have a nice weekend!
