I fixed a number of bugs related to this report. I think that it's fixed overall now. Please reopen (with explanation) if you disagree.

RANK shouldn't have created an output variable beginning with a $. I see that PSPP still does this, though. That's a bug.

In case you need access to the original data, I'm attaching a .sav file that replaces $ORDER_ by xORDER_ so that it can be read.

(file #35899)

Thank you for the bug report.

Looking at the .sav file you posted, is seems that the version of
PSPP you are using is
a) rather old.
b) is a test version (0.7.9 was never released)

Can you please try with 0.8.5 and see if the problem is there.

Like the program. Created a new .sav dataset with calculated fields and saved the syntax. Tried to open it and got the error msg above. The $ORDER_ variable was created by PSPP Rank command? The program crashed before I could save the last version of the .sav file.
