Re: Number of elements per case (0) is not between 1 and 134217727

It could be either, but I want PSPP to accept all of the files that other software does, so I will adjust to make the file work regardless of the fault.

Thank you, too. I understand that you think the problem is more on the side of PSPP and not caused by the ESS website generating files with errors .

Hello Be,

Thank for offering your help. The original file is a cumulated multi-wave multi-country survey from the European Social Survey. It was so large (200 MB) that I downloaded a reduced version of 8.8 MB which - alas - creates the same error in PSPP:

GET

GET FILE="C:\Users\Toshiba\Downloads\ESS1-7e01 France.sav".

erreur: 'C:\Users\Toshiba\Downloads\ESS1-7e01 France.sav' près du segment 0xe188 :Le nombre de lignes de ce document (0) doit être supérieur à 0 et inférieur à 26843545.

Here is the sav file in question: https://we.tl/gigL21PtBp

In RStudio which imports sav files the file was loaded without difficulties.

In RKward which imports sav files the same file produced the following error message :

Warning in read.spss("C:/Users/Toshiba/Downloads/ESS1-7e01 France.sav",  :
  C:/Users/Toshiba/Downloads/ESS1-7e01 France.sav: Number of elements per case (0) is not between 1 and 134217727
Error in read.spss("C:/Users/Toshiba/Downloads/ESS1-7e01 France.sav",  : 
  error reading system-file header

Thanks,

I would be pleased to help fix this problem with PSPP. Are you able to send a copy of the file that causes the problem? You can send it privately to me, if necessary, and I will not share it further.

 Hi,
I downloaded  a spss sav file from the official site of the European Social Survey and was not able to open it, getting the following error message:
C:/... /ESS1-7e01.sav: Number of elements per case (0) is not between 1 and 134217727.
The same message appeared in  RKWard when using the R app foreign. But JASP opened it without difficulties. So the file can be read.

Any ideas how to open it in PSPP?
TIA
