  • 1.  SPSS Error n° 10933

    Posted 05/14/20 10:07 AM
    Hi there,

    I am currently running an aggregate function and I get :

    Error n° 10933 in column 1. Text: DATASET
    >The definition of a new variable on the AGGREGATE command must be
    >terminated by a slash.
    >This command not executed.

    I want to have the fertility ratio (Woman-Child ratio) from a 1911 census. Here is my syntax:

    DATASET DECLARE AggBirths.
    AGGREGATE OUTFILE = 'AggBirths'
    /BREAK AgeCategories
    /TotalFamilies = N
    /TotalBirths= SUM(TotalYoungChildren)
    DATASET ACTIVATE AggBirths.

    I just don't understand why it cannot go through and adding slashes does not help either.

    I seems to be a very banal error.

    Does anyone have any advice ?

    Thank you !

    You are missing a period at the end of the AGGREGATE command, so the next line is interpreted as part of that command.
