spss 19 and sas

SPSS Support-2
Hi Cathie,

This appears to be due to a known bug, fixed in the Release 19.0.0.1 FixPack (under old numbering what would have been known as the 19.0.1 patch), available on the Patches page on the support web site (http://support.spss.com). I've opened a support case for you and we will follow up to make sure that installing the FixPack resolves the issue.

Hi all

I recently had spss 19 installed and when I ran a program to save out a sas dataset, the dataset did not save.  There was no error message either, I just happened to check the date on the file before I sent it to a sas user and discovered it was an older version.  There are several such statements in the syntax file and in checking I discovered none of the sas files were saved.  I've been using the syntax for some time with no problem in v 18, but here it is for reference:

SAVE TRANSLATE OUTFILE=  'l:\shared\com\stress.health\restricted\data\FSH1\data\system\FSHlong.sas7bdat'
 /TYPE=SAS /VERSION=7 /PLATFORM=WINDOWS /REPLACE.

Did something change?  I checked the reference file and couldn't see anything, but I may be just overlooking it.  If anyone knows what I need to do to fix this, I'd be grateful for the info!
