I am very inexperienced with pspp and spss. I have been using pspp on linux to create .sav files using a sps def file using the command "pspp xxxx.sps" which runs and outputs the file very nicely until today when trying this on a new study. This data file has just under 200 variables.
I get a bunch of truncating label warnings. Do I just get too many? Do I just need to clean all the labels to be shorter?
