error

[Howard Schuman]

When SPSS tells you there is a mistake in syntax with a statement such
as: "Error # 4425," is there any way to find out what that means?    hs

Hi Howard,

Try searching for the error number or a key phrase of the error message in
the knowledgebase at support.spss.com. (Log in and then follow the
'Knowledgebase Search' link in the left-hand menu bar).

Hope this helps.

Kylie.

Have you contacted SPSS tech support?

Perhaps more importantly, why are you using SPSS as your primary stat package?! At best, SPSS should be considered Plan B or Plan C or Plan F.

Finally, would you like to post a listing with your syntax and the
error message? Admittedly, at most this will solve the present
problem, leaving your question unanswered concerning problems you run
into later. But if your present problem is important in itself, try it.

SPSS syntax error messages are supposed to be pretty clear, and very
often they are; but they can also be obscure, especially concerning
syntactic features that are new to you.

-Best wishes to you,
