I tried to do a mediation analysis with PROCESS and always get the following warning numbers:
set printback=off.
>warning number 206 in column 3. text: \
>In a command an invalid character was found.
>Warning number 206 in column 7. text: \

Unfortunately, I'm a beginner and don't know what to do with these things. I would like to try to fix the errors shown, but I don't know where to do it. Exactly what commands does SPSS refer to and where can I change them? I am attaching a screenshot of the warning number.
I hope someone can help me.
