  • 1.  SCRIPT command does not always honor CD

    I would like to run a Python 3 script using SCRIPT command. However, the problem is that SPSS randomly honors a path defined earlier by CD command. Of course the script is in the same place as the path defined by CD. Code: 
    *** Setting a path.
    cd "C:\Survey Folder\Results".

    *** This works.
    script "C:\Survey Folder\Results\py3script.py".

    *** These almost always don't.
    script "py3script.py".
    script pythonversion = 3 "py3script.py".
    I remember this problem has occured since version 25 but up to 26 it sometimes worked with CD. In version 27 I cannot get desired result. Is it a bug or documentation simply doesn't mention that a path for a script needs to be given explicitly? If it is a bug - is it fixed in version 28?

    Hi, Konrad. Sorry I missed this post. It looks like a bug to me; I am in communication with the development team and will see that the issue is addressed.

    Hi, Konrad. This has been fixed; I am checking now to see if the fix made it into version 28.0.1 or only into the next release (29). What version are you currently running?

    OK. I'll look into the possibility of an interim fix for that release. Can't promise, but I'll ask...

    Hello,

    thanks for the fix!. One important note: it may not work after first run. When I replaced spsswctl.dll and ran SPSS 27 it didn't work. However, after further launches it started working.
