Re: German Umlauts are not taken over in string variables

[Ben Pfaff]

It sounds like PSPP isn't using a proper locale for data. What does "SHOW LOCALE." print for you?

Hello,

I have a problem and hope someone has an idea to solve it.

A *sps.file contains German Umlauts like ä, ü and ö. And there is all
correct.

When I run the sps file (which also contains data), the umlauts in the
variable labels and the value labels are picked up and displayed
correctly on the records, but not the umlauts in the string (Format
A512) variables.

e.g.

     right: rückwirkend

     wrong: ückwirkend

I use GNU pspp 1.6.2-g78a33a with latest Win 10-version.

Any idea to get the umlauts in the data/string variables?

Thanks
