Re: help--PSPP freezes up in Windows 7

[Harry Thijssen]

Hi Tom

I did a lot of testing today and found a nasty things. 

In the pspp.jnl you posted I see:
=================
set workspace=100000000

.1-6: error: SET: Syntax error at `output': expecting end of command.


error: EXECUTE: EXECUTE is allowed only after the active dataset has been defined.
GET FILE="C:\ACS Data\ACS 2010\Mn Person ACS 2010.sav".
=============

What I have seen today is that the quotes you use around "output" driving the parser nuts.  Are these quotes introduced when using the syntax editor on MSWindows? I didn't check this on Linux.  
How is the command   "set workspace=10000000"  invoked? In fact it is no longer necessary in the newer MSWindows builds.
Where did you enter " `output': "? If it is in a syntax file. Edit it outside PSPP and take care that you have the right quotes in it.

I wonder if this helps?

Have fun

I can run one request--for example a frequency.  But when I try a
second--for example a crosstab--the program freezes.  Any suggestions?
I understand that people are running in Windows 7 so I must be doing
something wrong.  I have tried every download version I can find with
the same result. Thanks for any help

What version did this last occur with?
Does it happen with more than one dataset?
