Group: Forum Members Posts: 26, Visits: 194	Hello. I'm exploring some data I collected for the IAT. I tried the IAT script (http://www.millisecond.com/download/library/v3/IAT/IAT.sps), but I encountered a problem with the following bit: 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 . SPSS gives me the following error in the output: >Error # 61 in column 21. Text: CRITERIA.SAV >The filename is not valid. >Execution of this command stops. Am I supposed to specify a file name or something? It seems a rather basic syntax question, but any help is appreciated. Best, Ali Tags spss syntax

If you simply Google the error code https://encrypted.google.com/#q=SPSS+Error+%23+61 you'll come across useful information such as http://www.talkstats.com/showthread.php/38253-SPSS-syntax-issue...-file-pathway-does-not-exist-! which suggests you don't have proper write permissions for the location you are trying to save criteria.sav to.
