Details:

i'm using version 0.8.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 (64bits)
and the on-line documentation
https://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/manual/html_node/Defining-Variables.html#Defining-Variables

i've tried to follow the example of code given in ``5.1.1 Defining Variables''
but the numerical values with dot 
--- e.g. Catherine 134.231 ---
are not recognize and I obtain the following error:
 
attention: La donnée pour la variable height n'est pas valide en tant que
format F : Nombre suivi de données incorrectes

Changing 
data list list /forename (A12) height.
into
data list list /forename (A12) height (DOT3.3).
should do the trick.

hih
