Exporting problem
Exporting problem
When exporting Jamovi file, with non-English columns names, to *.sav - I got an empy SPSS file.
Re: Exporting problem
hi,
is this with the most recent version? (1.2.19) ... if it is, can you provide a data file we can use to reproduce the issue?
with thanks

Re: Exporting problem
I just tested with 1.2.21.0:
Export of the file was no problem. When I opened the .sav file again the names of the variables were gone: They now look like @____1, @____2 etc.

Re: Exporting problem
ah, i remember now. this is actually a limitation of the spss file format.

Re: Exporting problem
Thank you for responding me.
I'v read all that rules for naming variables in SPSS that you sent me.
To the best of my knowledge, SPSS file can contains non-English names of variables (eg. Hebrew). I am doing it frequently without any problems.
I'v checked the following situations:
1) When exporting Jamovi to SPSS, all Hebrew characters in variables names were converted to @ character.
2) When importing SPSS with Hebrew variables name to Jamovi, all variables names were displayed correctrly by Hebrew characters.
Could you think about any settings I should applay to obtain fine Hebrew exporting of Jamovi's files?

Re: Exporting problem
hi nizanely,
i've pushed out a 1.2.22 which should fix most of these issues. note the sample1.omv file your provided won't work as yet ... it turns out there's a particular column name in there which causes the readstat library to fail -- we're working with the readstat developer to fix it. but i think that's a freak coincidence -- you should be able to export other data sets as .sav without issue.
let me know if you have any further issues.
cheers and thanks for reporting.
