The file name which produces the data is
"C:\Users\Toshiba\Documents\data\EVS-WVS\WVS 5 Europe
recodes.sav".
And it is loaded and is saved in PSPP latest version under windows
7.

Does any file name that contains spaces cause trouble under Windows?
I've just tested out a few simple cases with spaces on GNU/Linux,
without trouble, so I'd be curious to hear what kinds of cases do cause
problems.

FWIW, I've run into trouble like this when there are spaces in Windows
paths. It looks like FTR's path doesn't have a space but does Windows
actually have a folder named "Documents"? When I run the code below (on
the example hotels.sav) and then look in "My Documents" (not "Documents"
although it's there too) I see the test data (so this works for me).
save translate
/outfile ="C:\Users\amead\Documents\test_data.csv"
/type = csv
/fieldnames
/cells = values
/keep v3 v1 to v2.
But this code produces FTR's error:
save translate
/outfile ="C:\Users\amead\My Documents\test_data.csv"
/type = csv
/fieldnames
/cells = values
/keep v3 v1 to v2.
So, again, FWIW...

The error message says (translated from the French text):
Creating temporary file resulted in error (file name): No such file or
directory.
Usually, in creating a file, "No such file or directory" means that the
directory does not exist. So, the most likely problem here seems to be
that the name of the directory is misspelled. Could you make really
sure that it is correct?
Error when opening
C:\Users\ftr\Documents\data\EVS-WVS\WVS5Europetrustvars.csv" when writing as
a system file: success.
This message seems like a genuine bug, but I cannot see how it would
happen. I cannot reproduce it locally (on GNU/Linux), even when I
specify the name of a nonexistent directory as part of the outfile.
Could it be a privileges issue (e. g. no writing permission on a folder
in the file path)?
Also, it seems "almost OK": it raises an error but then displays "success",
but still an error (as the file is not created). Double-checking the Windows
behaviour regarding this code
/* Create the file on disk. */
w->rf = replace_file_start (fh_get_file_name (fh), "w", 0666,
&w->file, NULL);
if (w->rf == NULL)
{
msg (ME, _("Error opening `%s' for writing as a system file: %s."),
fh_get_file_name (fh), strerror (errno));
goto error;
}
should be helpful.
