Hello Everyone, I've tried searching but could not find a solution to this, so I am hoping you can help me.
I am currently using the book: Applied Multivariate Statistics for the Social Sciences 5th edition by James Stevens. In the chapter on Multiple regression, he has a table 3.3 with syntax to enter in order to output the MR with other descriptives. A copy of what is in the book can be found here just scroll down to the next page (99):

I have entered all of the data into the syntax editor and triple checked my entry. It matches the book's example exactly.
However, when I run the syntax I receive the following message from SPSS:
"Warning # 522
An unexpected end of file has been found in the middle of reading a case. The
Partial case will be ignored. Check your input for a possible missing record.
Command line: 311 Current case: 6 Current splitfile group: 1"
I am also going to past my exact syntax below. Any help you may be able to provide in solving this error would be greatly appreciated. I am new to syntax and still learning my way around SPSS. I am also running PASW 18 on my mac if that helps.
I've looked through this forum as well as on Google. It sounds like there could be a missing record but the numbers match. I've tried changing the syntax in a few places but no result seems to do the trick.
Thank you again for your assistance,
JW
