Summary17745: Incomplete instructions to export response data to SPSS using Python
Description

The instructions described in "Responses/Export/Export responses to SPSS" (Screenshot 1) are incomplete concerning the use of SPSS with Python.

Under SPSS with Python 3, the "begin program." command needs to be written as "begin program PYTHON3.". Otherwise, SPSS cannot read the data file and produces error warnings. Alternatively, the syntax file produced by LimeSurvey should be corrected by default.

Additional Information

The errors text:

Error # 8500. Command name: begin program
Python 2 is no longer installed with IBM SPSS Statistics. It is recommended
that you use a Python 3.8.x distribution (BEGIN PROGRAM PYTHON3). You must
update your Python 2 path for each Statistics application. For SPSS
Statistics client, set the path in Edit > Options... > File Locations; for
SPSS Statistics Server, set the path in the spssdxcfg.ini file.
Execution of this command stops.

Error. Command name: GET DATA
(2269) Failure opening file: PATHdatfile/survey_211451_SPSS_data_file.dat
Execution of this command stops.

Error # 105. Command name: EXECUTE
This command is not valid before a working file has been defined.
Execution of this command stops.

Can you put some text on how the new instructions should look like?

Intruction no. 2:
...If you selected the version for SPSS with the Python plugin / Essentials, just save the syntax and the data file in the same folder, but if you use Python 3 you need to edit the syntax file: in the line starting with "begin program", add PYTHON3. The line should look like this: begin program PYTHON3.

Or something similar...
