Troubleshooting


Problem

I am trying to run a SPLIT FILE on a string variable in SPSS 13.0.x and am receiving an error message either: The selection variable exceeds the maximum for the target list or Error # 4757 in column 256. Text: (End of Command) No more than 8 split file variables may be used by the SPLIT FILE command. Note that long string variables account for multiple split file variables. This command not executed. What is going on and how may I run my SPLIT FILE?
