The sytnax file I sent you does not eliminate this error you were getting?
There are two issues I see here, one is getting the SPSS syntax to work on reading in the data. The other issue is getting it to read the data in properly when these big strings are involved. The syntax file I sent is only addressing the first issue. The "Text: 1" that it's referring to is your variable "rel_imp 1" which, when changed to "rel_imp1" fixed this error and allowed the data to be read in. However, the problems to the string data remain. Are we on the same page with that?Error # 4135 in column 13. Text: 1
You must not specify the column location for variables read in FREE or LIST format. This command not executed.
