Sorry, your explanations are not absolutely clear:

  1. What's the wrong text (maybe you can provide a screenshot)?

  2. What's the correct text?

  3. Why is the one text wrong?

Thanks for your feedback!

Hello,

the wrong text is in the "Instructions for the impatient" in spss export page.
The page say:
"
Download the data and the syntax file
Open the syntax file in SPSS in Unicode mode
Edit the 4th line and complete the filename with a full path to the downloaded data file
...
"

When i edit the syntax file i read this (the path to correct is in the line 8 not 4):

"$Rev: 121017 $ all 2.
SET UNICODE=ON.
SHOW LOCALE.
PRESERVE LOCALE.
SET LOCALE='en_UK'.

Thanks for providing the additional details, emp.

Since the line may change at future versions I recommend to change the instructions to:

"Edit the 'FILE=' line and complete the filename with a full path to the downloaded data file."

Do you agree?
