can't import file from SPSS
Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2023 8:16 pm
Hi there,
I am unable to import some of my SPSS files into JAMOVI. For one file, when I try to import, I get the message "Unable to import - Unable to convert string to the requested encoding (invalid byte sequence). And for the other, it just says "Unable to import - unable to open the file". But it's very odd because for other SPSS files I'm working with in the same folder, same database, I can successfully import. I am working in a secure virtual desktop environment so I am unable to attach the file...the only thing I can think of is that the two files that I can't import are quite a bit larger than the ones I can (i.e., 1300 KB for the ones that won't import vs 110 KB for the one that does).
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you.
