Hello, a quick follow up. As these things go, right after I wrote the previous message, OMS was repeatedly being enabled. I had the feeling it came on each time I hibernated and restarted my laptop, but not sure about this. I now changed the autorecovery setting you suggested, and will see how it goes.
Cheers,
Sebastiaan

Thank you Curtis,
I can imagine such problems are hard to pin down. E.g, I worked all day with SPSS yesterday and the problem didn't reappear with autorecovery still enabled. Can I see or check that autorecovery actually runs? I did switch off the starting screen that opens with SPSS and shows recovered files. I did this using the "don't show this window again" (or similar) option. Don't know if that has anything to do with the issue not occurring so far?
I'll keep an eye on it, and let you know if I notice anything again.
Thanks again for the suggestions!
Sebastiaan

Hello @s hess. We are currently investigating this, but it is difficult to reproduce and at present the working theory is that it has to do with the autorecovery thread that runs at regular intervals. One thing you can try is to turn off Auto Recovery on the General tab in SPSS Options and see if that makes the problem go away. If it does please let us know so we can confirm this is the source of the issue.
Thanks,

Thank you Jon,
I mostly only run syntax written by myself, that doesn't contain any OMS commands (I had not heard of OMS, until I stopped getting SPSS output and searched this forum for a solution). I also don't think I use any procedures that I didn't with previous versions of SPSS (25 was the latest I used before switching to 29), when I never encountered this issue.
Did this issue ever come up in the forum with older versions? All those with issues in this post seem to be using SPSS 29, which is why I wondered if it could be to do with a recent change, but perhaps that is to quick an assumption.
I'll keep an eye on it and see if I can find anything specific that triggers it.
Cheers,
Sebastiaan

OMS is onl activated when an OMS command is run, but some extension procedures might include an OMS command. Those commands, however, should always terminate OMS via OMSEND without your having to do anything.
Watch the status bar to see if you can spot when the OMS status appears. If you have syntax files you run regularly, you might scan them to see if there are any OMS commands in them.

Dear all,
I keep having the same problem with OMS quite often "getting turned on" "by itself". I don't understand what makes it go on. Does anyone know why? Is there some setting I should change? Do I inadvertently turn it on? Is it a bug?
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Sebastiaan

I see an OMSEND command, but no OMS command preceding it anywhere. I also see that OMS is on (the status bar has "OMS" - look for it at the bottom of the window).
Put this command before anything else :
OMSEND.
and just run that by itself.
The OMS should disappear from the status bar. Then try your TTEST command and you should see output in the viewer.

Hi @Abigail Rizzo . The above screen shot is of a syntax window, but I was referring to a command window in MS-Windows above.
Let's try the easiest thing first, and work to more complex tests if the initial ones don't work:
- Are you able to open a new Output window from the File menu (File->New->Output)?
- If yes, can you enter this command in a syntax window, run that syntax, and see if it fixes the problem:
OMSEND.
3. If you still cannot get output by running syntax from a syntax window, then can you get output by opening a dataset, going to the Frequencies dialog (Analyze->Descriptive Statistics->Frequencies), choosing a few settings, then running the dialog?
4. Next thing to try if the above fails is to open a command (e.g. terminal) window in your operating system. From there you can enter the command I mentioned above to see if any useful information is output to that command window:
"C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS Statistics\stats.com"
If you perform step #4 above and get errors or other information in the command window (not the syntax or output windows in Statistics), please copy that information and paste it to your response here.
Best,

Hi Curtis, I installed Statistics into the default "C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS Statistics" directory. What do you mean by "open a terminal window"? This is not the Syntax window is it? Because I tried entering "C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS Statistics\stats.com" there but nothing happened. See below. Thank you.

Hi @Jordan Marshall. May I assume that you installed Statistics into the default "C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS Statistics" directory?
If yes, can you open a terminal window and enter the following please, including the double quotes, then press Enter:
"C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS Statistics\stats.com"
Try some of the actions that failed for you and then inspect the terminal window to see if there are any errors. Please paste any errors you find into your response message, thanks.

I am having the same problem. The output window is just not opening at all. I tried the syntax trick mentioned and it did not work.
I'm using SPSS for MS-Windows.
My operating system is Windows 11.
And my version of SPSS is Grad Pack Premium v29.

Dear all, I'm a student using SPSS Statistics for my research project and am currently using Version 29 on Mac. I tried running some analysis (e.g. Descriptives, Reliability Analysis) today, but upon clicking "Ok" after setting up all my variables, nothing shows up in my Output. I've tried Googling for solutions, but can't find any solutions. Would be extremely grateful for any assistance and advice, thank you!
