Please help me, I need to go on with my project and have a serious problem with the .NET SPSS plugin (version 17.0.2)... After a clean reinstall of Windows, I get no detailed error messages when invoking (incorrect) SPSS commands. All I see is "Serious error 3" returned by the .NET debugger. Like that, I'll never be able to figure out potentially occuring syntax errors... What can I do? My colleague has installed exactly the same SPSS version and plugin on exactly the same OS, and he's got the output visible!
Please help me.
Thanks so much
S.

In order to see what is wrong with the commands, run them in interactive mode, where you will get a more useful error message.
There is a GetErrorDescription (I forget the exact name in .NET) api that sometimes returns more useful information, so you could try calling that, but it doesn't always reveal the real error message.
You should also be able to call SetOutput("on") to get more information in the console output.

Hi,
the console ouput seems to differ by the .net plugin you use. If you use the dlls from "SPSS 17.0.1 Programmability Extension SDK" there won't be verbose output. "PASW Statistics-.Net Plugin 17.0.2 for Win32" gives you verbose output

Is there a way to turn off the output of the spss commands to the console using SPSS 17.0.1? Right now every command that I run is automatically written to the console window and I am wondering if there is a way to stop that?

Look for the SetOutput api. It controls echoing to the console.

What class is that in? I can see the one for SetOutputLanguage but that is all.

Sorry, the SetOutput api is only in the Python plugin.
Use OMS to capture and control the output.
