The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer created documents in SPSS/PCT (Statistical Package for Serial Sciences). SPSS creates documents in ASCII format. When trying to retrieve a large file (82,386 bytes) into WP 5.1 using List Files (F5), Retrieve (#1), the message "Incompatible File Format" appears. The same error message appears when trying to retrieve using Retrieve (Shift-F10). If the customer presses Control-F5 while in List Files to retrieve the document, the file retrieves fine. Solutions: Development found some odd codes immediately following the first page break. They found that taking out the Ctrl-H, Carriage Return, Line Feed corrected the problem the customer reported when using the Retrieve (#1) feature in List Files. SPSS may not be saving all documents in a true ASCII format. The customer can continue to use the Text In/Out option to retrieve documents.
