Recently, when I used two SPSS files (level 1 and level 2) to create an
HLM mdm file, I got the following message. I am wondering this is an
SPSS problem or HLM problem. Because these two files works last year for
my class. I have these two files upload to university's network system
called UB Learns.

The message error message from HLM says: "Invalid dictionary subtype in
SPSS level 1. and LOS1.sav is an empty file. Actually, I can open
LOS1.sav by SPSS (v.14), it is not an empty file.  The same two files I
used to upload to university computer are fine, I can use them to create
the HLM .mdm file without any problem. Any idea, what is wrong with
these two files.
