I ran the built-in propensity score matching dialogue box in SPSS 29. It generates propensity scores but I also get the following warnings:

<built-in function GetCaseValue> returned a result with an exception set

Warnings

Unknown dataset D0.6630729021933063.

Execution of this command stops.

 The only informative output here is the first message referring to GetCaseValue, because everything after that in a consequence of that error. It is an internal error.  If you can share the data your are using and the pasted syntax you ran, I can investigate (jkpeck@gmail.com). I have seen this error occasionally in the past, but I don't remember the exact cause.  If you don't have the latest version of the FUZZY procedure, which is used by both PSM commands, I suggest that you update your installation via Extensions > Extension Hub.  Also update the STATS PSM extension command.
