Warning 849 in SPSS 27
Locked
 
|
Hi, I am using SPSS 27 (commute license) through my job. I get this warning
when opening SPSS: “Warning # 849 in column 23. Text: no_NO The LOCALE subcommand of the SET command has an invalid parameter. It could not be mapped to a valid backend locale.” My colleagues also get this warning. I have googled around and I see that others have reported similar problems in other languages. How serious is this warning? Can it simply be ignored? My colleagues simply ignore it. However, I “hate” not to know whether I need to fix it, or if I can safely ignore it. As a side note, I have downloaded data from online examples and checked that I get the same results etc as these examples. So it does not seem to influence the statistical analysis (with the exception that I have a comma instead of a dot). So is it perhaps mainly an issue with string/text variables? Or is it something I really need to fix before running statistical analysis? Want to make sure that I am not doing anything wrong here….any insights on this would be much appreciated. I am also running in Unicode so I though language issues should be taken care of…but perhaps not?

Don't know why it's happening, but the issue now is what does the application think your locale is? You could run SHOW LOCALE to find out. If it's something you don't want, use SET LOCALE to change it. Both nn_NO and nb_NO are valid Norwegian locales.

And since both use the western European character set, you should have no character set problems anyway. On Mon, Apr 12, 2021 at 1:59 PM Rick Oliver <[hidden email]> wrote:

Dear Art,
Thanks a lot for replying! This is what I get in the output window when I open SPSS without data loading (just opening SPSS). ">Warning # 849 in column 23. Text: no_NO >The LOCALE subcommand of the SET command has an invalid parameter. It could >not be mapped to a valid backend locale. Your license will expire in 2 days." This is what I get in the output window when opening SPSS with data (simply double clicking on an SPSS file) that I have downloaded: "Warning # 849 in column 23. Text: no_NO >The LOCALE subcommand of the SET command has an invalid parameter. It could >not be mapped to a valid backend locale. Your license will expire in 2 days. GET FILE='C:\Users\03202370\Downloads\restaurant.sav'. DATASET NAME DataSet1 WINDOW=FRONT" This is what happens when I double click on the datafile and ordering a simple frequencies of gender: >Warning # 849 in column 23.

Dear Jon,
Does that suggest that I can basically ignore this? Would be in line with the checking I have done...

Yes. The only time the locale might matter would be in reading in non-Unicode data, but since all the Norwegian characters are in the default code page character set, things should be fine even in that case. On Mon, Apr 12, 2021 at 3:14 PM Odin <[hidden email]> wrote: Dear Jon, |

Hi Rick, thanks a lot for your reply. When I do a show locale I get this:
System Settings Keyword Description Setting LOCALE country and character set nb_NO.windows-1252 According to a recent support post I think it should be ok: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/locale-subcommand-set-command-has-invalid-parameter But still do not understand why I get a warning in spss. What does "Text: no_NO" really mean? Is it because it should be nn_NO or nb_NO? Any thoughts is highly appreciated! Best Odin |
