Hello,

I am trying to read the .omv file in R. I tried to export .RData, but the following message showing to me when I open in it in R:

Error in tolower(completions) : invalid multibyte string 183

Also, when I am trying to exported using SPSS version, the following error message showing up:

Saved failed:
A provided names contains illegal characters.

Note that: my variables and levels are written in Arabic.

Regards,

Ahmad

Hey @alsaber,

if you use R and you are interested in opening .omv files, I suggest you take a look at the package R jmvReadWrite, written by Sebastian Jentschke of Team Jamovi, the source is here:
https://github.com/sjentsch/jmvReadWrite

Saved failed:
A provided names contains illegal characters.

The message tells you that the name of one or more variables contains one or more characters that could prevent SPSS from opening the file, so the .sav export fails.
Try reviewing the names of your variables.

Cheers,
Maurizio
