Hi,

Lately I've been having problems saving SPSS files and syntax.

Although I saved my files on the save button the files were not actually saved.

No error appeared so I thought the files were saved successfully. This happened

in both the data file and the syntax.

I noticed that if I shorten the filename /directory name the files

are saved successfully. But unfortunately I find this out the next time I open

the files and by then it is too late because all my work is gone.

Is there a way to solve this problem with saving?

Thank you!

Hey Bro,

You can save your SPSS syntax as an *. sps file so that you can re-use it later. To save your syntax file, make sure that you have the Syntax Editor window open and active, then click File > Save or File > Save As to save the syntax file.

I hope this is helpful

Thanks and Best Regards:

Thank you.

I always save the data and syntax as you mentioned but files are not saved successfully if the file name /directory name is too long
