Error description
You work with IBM SPSS Statistics 20 on non-Western locale. Additionally you use fast tables option (SET TABLERENDER = LIGHT) which is the default setting in Release 20. In Edit - Options menu you select to use locale system setting for character encoding (SET UNICODE = OFF). In your file there are variables with non-western characters in either their names, string content, or value labels which you use on any procedure dialogs. However, when you look at the tables created you may encounter incorrect results. For example you may notice that not all variables are included in the tables, some may left. The incorrect result depends on the table, but the most common scenario is that if you have a table with rows "X" and "Y", the "X" row's values will be overwritten with the "Y" row's values, and the "Y" row will be empty. For example, instead of: Male 1.23 3.45 Female 8.12 9.45 You will see: Male 8.12 3.45 This issue was reported to IBM SPSS Development. As a workaround use UNICODE = ON before you create your fast rendered tables.
