Hi. It looks like SIMPLAN created a plan file but SIMRUN can't find it for some reason. Can you post the syntax for both so I can see it, please?

Hi, I'm new to the SPSS Simulation Builder. Unfortunately when I run a simple model based entirely in the GUI point and click dialog, or, if I run my own syntax I keep getting the same error message. Could someone point me to a resource to resolve this? Or perhaps help explain why I'm getting the error message? Thanks! Message below:
