IBM® SPSS® Amos™ 28

The new format of text data files is different from what it was in version 3.61. Amos no longer supports the following "$" commands for data input.

▪$raw data

▪$covariances

▪$correlations

▪$means

▪$standard deviations

▪$sample size

▪$input variables

The method for ASCII text input is completely different in Amos 28, and requires the delimited style common to SPSS Statistics and many other Windows applications (the semicolon delimiter is used in many European and Asian countries). In addition, ASCII data can no longer be included in a command window--they must reside in an external file.

Amos deletes any data included in AMW files created by versions of Amos prior to Amos 4.0.

Please be sure to store ASCII data in external files and change the data format format as shown below.
