  • 1.  SPSS 28 bivariate correlation with error message

    Posted 01/27/22 09:25 AM

    I recently started using SPSS 28 with Windows 7 and wanted to check a correlation. For this, I wanted to carry out a bivariate analysis with confidence interval. The first try says "Run STATS CORRELATION" at the bottom of the window, but no output window opens. After the second attempt, the output window opens with the message "Warning number 6894. Command name: BEGIN PROGRAM The external program exited unexpectedly, losing its contents. A new external program will be started to run the rest of the job."

     

    So far I haven't been able to find a satisfactory solution in Google search with this error code. With SPSS 25 this correlation worked.

    What is the problem and how can I solve it?

     

    Regard,

    Eric

    That suggests a problem with the Python integration.  Can you try another Python-based extension to see if you get the same misbehavior - SPSSINC CREATE DUMMIES would be a possible choice.

    Also try running this from a syntax window..
    begin program python3.
    import spss
    print(spss)
    import STATS_CORRELATIONS
    print(STATS_CORRELATIONS)
    end program.

    Thank you Jon for answering.

     

    With "SPSSINC CREATE DUMMIES" the same error message is shown.

     

    I tried to run the other syntax and there is the same error message too.

    So you have a general problem with the Python integration.  I wonder whether running Statistics as administrator would help.  Can you give that a try?

    I ran SPSS as administrator and did the calculation but the result was the same. I installed Python 3.8 hoping that would fix the issues but to no avail.

    Sorry, I have no idea why this is failing.  Contacting IBM Tech Support might help.  But one more thing to try would be to install the 28.0.1.1 update that recently became available from FixCentral.

    Hi, Eric. From what I can tell, version 28 of SPSS is not warranted to run on a Windows OS less that Windows 10. I'm sure than explains it.
