specifying the correct path for a MAC

msherman

Dear list: I work in a PC environment and have used the follow syntax to have SPSS locate two files.   A student who is working on a MAC  sent me her syntax  because SPSS indicated that it was unable to locate the files.  I looked in her Macintosh HD directory and the files were there.   Is the way one indicates the path in a MAC different than what ones does with a PC?  Martin Sherman

 

file handle oldfile /name='g:\Double Entry data file 1.sav'.

file handle newfile /name='g:\Double Entry data file 2.sav’.

 

file handle oldfile /name='Macintosh HD\double entry 1.sav'.

file handle newfile /name='Macintosh HD\double entry 2.sav'.
