  • 1.  Failure to run propensity matching module on version 27

    Posted 10/18/20 05:51 PM

    Dear colleague,

    I installed a bug (IBM_Install_DD.jnlp) for the propensity matching problem. But it is till not working.

    This error message is appearing:

    Warning

    Text: M0.14214948464907917 Command: DELETE VARIABLES

    An undefined variable name, or a scratch or system variable was specified in a variable list which accepts only standard variables. Check spelling and verify the existence of this variable.

    Execution of this command stops.

    Traceback (most recent call last):

    File "<string>", line 39, in <module>

    File "/Applications/IBM SPSS Statistics 27/Resources/Python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/spss/spss.py", line 1508, in Submit

    raise SpssError(error)

    spss.errMsg.SpssError: [errLevel 3] Serious error.

    Any advice on how to resolve this problem will be welcome.

    Thank you.

    H

    Update - I have checked the following link:

    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6245704?myns=swgimgmt&mynp=OCSSLVMB&mync=E&cm_sp=swgimgmt-_-OCSSLVMB-_-E

    I have tried to update the FUZZY and PSM extensions on my Mac but the message "null" comes up in the output viewer.

    How can I update those extensions on Mac?

    Thanks,

    H

    Did you install the hotfix listed in that note? That's not a fix to FUZZY but to the Python infrastructure for Statistics.

    If you run this code from a syntax window, you can see whether FUZZY is installed.

    begin program python3.

    import FUZZY

    end program.

    If all this doesn't work, if you want to send me the code (paste from dialog) and data, I can see if there is a data-specific problem, although I am on Windows. (jkpeckSupport Member)

    The original mesage you got about the DELETE command suggests that the logistic regression that starts the PSM process did not run.
