APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
You work with IBM SPSS Statistics 20 installed on Macintosh Snow Leopard 10.6.8 operating system. Your menu language for Statistics is set to Japanese language. Additionally you set your locale to Japanese and turn Unicode mode on: DATASET CLOSE ALL. NEW FILE. SET UNICODE = On. SET LOCALE = JAPANESE. SHOW LOCALE UNICODE. After that you open a Statistics data file (*.sav) with Japanese value or variable labels in the file. After you modified the file (e.g. create a new variable) you would like to save the file under a different name. However, when you click on File - Save As in Data Editor window nothing happens. The dialog where you can define file name and path to save to does not occur. This does not happen for syntax and output viewer window when on Japanese GUI. The workaround is to use File- Save instead of File - Save As on Data Editor to save the changes under the same sav file name or to use SAVE OUTFILE syntax to save the changes under a different sav file name.
