Duplicate variable / underscore problem

[Ian Stephen]

Hi

Using PSPP & PSPPIRE 0.7.9 on Ubuntu 12.04

I am trying to open SPSS (.sav) files and get essentially the same error 
with every .sav file.  The .sav files are all from the same web 
application.  These files do open in SPSS.  With PSPP I get;

'error: path/filename.sav near offset 0xnnnnnn: Duplicate variable name 
P#Q1_10.'

The offset changes and the digit represented here by '#' changes, but 
otherwise the error is the same for each file I try to open.

I tried with 'R' and got basically the same error.  The developer of the 
application I get the .sav files from thinks that PSPP has some problem 
with underscores in variable names.


Anyone seen anything similar?

Cheers,
Ian
