I've imported a data base using both syntax and data files, but when I execute it from the syntax file, the file does not keep the variables names and values.

However, the syntax file recognices them initially, every single variable.

Help, please.

SPSS 25

Please explain more about exactly what you are doing and what you see.

Hello Jon

Syntax shows me the value labels, but I can't command it to apply them to the database, so the labels are gone, and when I execute the data, it shows this:

Unfortunately , this site doesn't allow images :-( You could email them to me at jkpeckSupport Member? What database?

Oh that's a shame, I will copy the text down here to explain myself better:

SET UNICODE=ON.

SHOW LOCALE.

PRESERVE LOCALE.

SET LOCALE='en_UK'.

The first two are from the syntax, and the latter is from the data sheet.

I used LimeSurvey to download these data.

When I executed the file from the syntax to show me the data, value labels are lost, instead of, for example sociodemographic variables to show age, sex, etc., turns into V3, V4.

Where are you looking for these to appear? If you run a procedure, what do you see. Images would be helpful.
