The frequencies command does not parse the limit parameter. Original report:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/pspp-users/2015-06/msg00029.html
===============
To recreate this syntax error in psppire.exe 0.8.5-g2d71ac à

1. Create any new single-variable (Var001) dataset. N=10 is plenty.
2. Analyze menu, Descriptive Statistics, Frequencies
3. Click on Frequency Table
4. Choose “If no more than 50 values”

Here’s the error you get:

FREQUENCIES
/VARIABLES= Var0001

.24-28: error: FREQUENCIES: Syntax error at `LIMIT'.

/FORMAT=AVALUE LIMIT (50).

I attached an example syntax file which produces the error.
