[EpiData-list] SPSS EXPORT PROBLEMS

Hi,

I've a problem with the SPSS export function in EPIDATA. It creates a syntax file *.sps, which have to executed in SPSS to gain the *.sav file.

For this purpose it is necessary to uncomment the last line of the syntax code. After this SPSS produces the following error code:

Error # 105. Command name: SAVE This command is not valid before a working file has been defined. This command not executed.

But how can I define a working file before I have the exported data? Have anybody a soultion for this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Greetings.
