Unrecognized text where a variable list was expected
When running an analysis with SPSS, the error message “Unrecognized text where a variable list was expected” may sometimes appear. This error can occur after submitting an SPSS dialog box in which you have selected a series of variables to analyze. The error can be caused by having an illegal variable name, for example names that begin with numbers. Be sure that you name your variables using names like “FirstPlace,” not “1stPlace.”
