I am currently running an aggregate function and I get :

Error n° 10933 in column 1. Text: DATASET The definition of a new variable on the AGGREGATE command must be terminated by a slash. This command not executed.

I want to have the fertility ratio (Child-Woman ratio) from a 1911 census. Here is my syntax (I added the spaces here):

Screen shot of the syntax here

I just don't understand why it cannot go through and adding slashes does not help either.

I seems to be a very banal error.

Does anyone have any advice ?

Thank you !

    Insert a new blank line before you last line of code. Or put a full stop after your next to last line – horace_vr May 13 '20 at 23:56

SPSS commands should be ended with periods. Your syntax treats the DATASET ACTIVATE as a continuation of the AGGREGATE command, and the parser thinks "DATASET" is a new variable. Put a period after the closed parentheses to finish the command.
