Thanks, Nick, but as far as codebook is concerned, my data are quite
healthy and there is not a missing data issue. Due to other commitments,
I have very limited time to spend on this problem. However, I have
resolved to try a diffierent trick most days untill I strike gold and to
post my main finding to the Stata list users regarding how the issue was
resolved.
Best wishes
Margaret

As said, if it's not a problem with variables being (mis)read as string, then it sounds like a problem with missings. Have a look at your data e.g. using -codebook- and opening the Data Editor and see whether and where there are missings and whether they match what is seen by SPSS.

By way of an update, I have also applied the latest patch so as to
upgrade to SPSS 19.0.0.2 and then re-saved in Stata format using the
SPSS dialogue box. However, this has not eliminated my original error
message pointing to there be "no observations" for my "statistical
calculation".
