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?
Best regards,
Odin
