I'm exploring some data I collected for the IAT. I tried the IAT script (&lt;a href="http://www.millisecond.com/download/library/v3/IAT/IAT.sps),"&gt;http://www.millisecond.com/download/library/v3/IAT/IAT.sps),&lt;/a&gt; but I encountered a problem with the following bit:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;pre style="word-wrap: break-word;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;AGGREGATE OUTFILE = 'CRITERIA.SAV' / BREAK = SUBJECT ORDER / PCT_300 = PGT(FLAG_300,0)  / PCT_400 = PGT(FLAG_400,0) / PCT_10K = PGT(FLAG_10K,0) / AVELTNCY ERRORPCT = MEAN (LATENCY ERROR) / NTRIALS = N .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;SPSS gives me the following error in the output: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&amp;gt;Error # 61 in column 21.  Text: CRITERIA.SAV &amp;gt;The filename is not valid. &amp;gt;Execution of this command stops.&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Am I supposed to specify a file name or something? It seems a rather basic syntax question, but any help is appreciated. &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Best, &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Ali&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 25 Apr 2014 05:45:32 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Ali</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: 'The filename is not valid'</title><link>https://forums.millisecond.com/Topic13118.aspx</link><description>For SPSS problems / error messages please refer to SPSS support resources.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;If you simply Google the error code &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="https://encrypted.google.com/#q=SPSS+Error+%23+61"&gt;https://encrypted.google.com/#q=SPSS+Error+%23+61&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;you'll come across useful information such as&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.talkstats.com/showthread.php/38253-SPSS-syntax-issue...-file-pathway-does-not-exist-!"&gt;http://www.talkstats.com/showthread.php/38253-SPSS-syntax-issue...-file-pathway-does-not-exist-!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;which suggests you don't have proper write permissions for the location you are trying to save criteria.sav to.&lt;br/&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 25 Apr 2014 05:45:32 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Dave</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
