The Path to the file is not set correctly.
>(2269) Failure opening file: /Users/sergioquerido/Desktop/survey_fpf.dat

So you need to set a complete path to the file to ensure that the data is available to SPSS. There is not a LimeSurvey issue.

If there are additional issues after setting a correct path please provide the exact version of LimeSurvey.

I don't see how a LimeSurvey forum can support you, when the SPSS error message is "(2269) Failure opening file: /Users/sergioquerido/Desktop/survey_fpf.dat"

The SPSS forums are here developer.ibm.com/predictiveanalytics/forums/

Try to import your .lsa file to a free instance (to use the latest LTS version) and export again via SPSS to see if there are issues. Though I believe it s a SPSS issue (not aware of such SPSS issues in LimeSurvey)

Cdorin, this problem is most probably related to the wrong path entered by the user. This happens a lot. People do not adapt the path correctly and SPSS is complaining about it.

I am 99,9% sure that this has nothing to do with the Limesurvey export, but rather the wrong path to the file. I am no expert on this, but it seems like SPSS requires that you adapt a path in the files, just as Jelo highlights.

And the error message is clearly indicating this.
Help us to help you!
  • Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
  • Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).
