I repeatedly get this message when I try to run a path diagram:
F_A_T_A_L E_R_R_O_R: Error occured when reading a SYSTEM data file.
When the file is on my pc, LISREL can't find the files. My solution was to use a USB instead. It used to work, but now it doesn't. I get the message from above.
When I'm drawing the path diagram, Lisrel reads the variables from the file correctly When I try to run the analysis, it fails.
I have tried this:
-Reducing the amount of folders to see if that was the issue.
-Deleting/renaming any other files with the same name.
-Shortening the original name to "datos" so that it's simpler for the progam to find.
-Using 2 different USB memories.
-Creating and using other prelis databases in case the original file was corrupted.
Any ideas?
This is what I always get:
The following lines were read from file C:\Users\fapb_\Documents\Modelo 1.SPJ:
Set Path
SYSTEM FILE from file 'D:\Datos.psf'
F_A_T_A_L E_R_R_O_R: Error occured when reading a SYSTEM data file.
Thanks in advance!
Hello Fiorella,
Is the data file in the same folder as the the syntax file? Generally, when I use LISREL, I keep all the files associated with one project in the same folder. Do be aware that path names as locators often hide a significant amount of location information under MS windows (which is to say, you may be furnishing an incomplete path as far as windows is concerned).
One other option, though more of a pain, is to embed the data directly into your syntax file.
Good luck with your work.
