Error description
You work with IBM SPSS Statistics 19.0.0.1 or IBM SPSS Statistics 20 with the appropriate Python Essentials installed. After that you run the spssaux.py module which is installed with the Python Essentials for non-English locale and output language as in the example below for Russian for a variable var1: Example: dataset close all. new file. set locale = russian. set unicode = off. set olang = russian. show locale unicode olang. GET FILE='C:\temp\Mydata.sav'. begin program. import spssaux prm = spssaux.GetVariableNamesList().index('var1') print prm print spssaux.GetValueLabels(prm,True) end program. However, you do not get the value labels for var1 printed in the output which you requested with print spssaux.GetValueLabels(prm,True). The script only works when you use English locale and output language. This issue was reported to IBM SPSS Development and is corrected with a newer version of spssaux.py module available for download on IBM DeveloperWorks: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/files/app?la ng=en#/person/270002VCWN/file/5fd360dc-53cb-4008-99f7-3bb0ae7faa 12 Please download the updated module and replace the one installed with the Essentials in the site-packages/spssaux directory.
