关于自制数据无法读入HLM的问题
上次做作业的时候有同学问我为什么自己造的一个数据HLM读不出来，出现这样的提示："Invalid dictionary subtype in SPSS level 1. and ***.sav is an empty file.”
我们现在所用的版本都存在一定的问题，无法直接读入更高版本的SPSS数据。这个郭老师以前已经回答过这个问题：

另：
我注意到你说HLM根本没有看到你的一层数据，那可能是因为你用的是老版本的HLM（＜6.0)。那么，它不能读取新版本的SPSS（＞11）数据格式。我刚毕业的博士生葛建军也遇到过此问题。
最好你还是用HLM6.0以上，就不存在这个问题了。
另外，在没有新HLM软件条件下，我试验过一个笨办法也行，葛建军最后就是这么做的。即用现有的SPSS打开HLM原带SAV文件（那肯定是SPSS老版本），加入你自己的数据，删去其原来数据，然后存盘。那么老版HLM就可以读取你的数据了。你可以试试。
但是，在现有SPSS中将你自己的数据直接另存为SPSS老版本格式并不能解决上述问题！葛建军曾戏称HLM原带SAV数据为“面引子”。

多谢郭老师！
我把自己的SPSS版本降到10.0，终于可以建立ssm文件了！
另外国外学者都知道这一问题存在（下面是几个人的邮件交往）

Actually the solution for this problem involves going to the HLM website.
This is an acknowledged problem with the interface between SPSS and HLM 6.
There is a patch available to apply to HLM. This will allow the direct
transfer of
information from SPSS in and creation of the HLM mdf file.
Best,
Bob Intrieri

最保险的方法是用自己的数据去换HLM提供了例子数据
我试了用15.0存成spss7.0数据，HLM仍然出现问题。最保险的办法是按照郭老师的笨方法。此外，ID需要排序。页:
