Brian, I had been modifying one of your inter rater macros too, to make
use of DATASET DEFINE instead of files saved to disk. I am also
simplifying some redundant loops (use only one loop to compute several
variables, instead of several loops to compute them one by one) to make
your code faster.When I'm done with it, I will send it to you. I plan to
use it in my advanced stats course (with ll credit being given to you,
of course, I'd never claim your work as mine).

Now, Albert-Jan:

In the macro, I replaced all occurrences of file=' with file='mydir/ and outfile=' with outfile='mydir/ . For testing purposes, I use a file with 100 cases and just 100 bootstrap replications.

1) In "call_macros.sps" file, I used backslashes when defining the file
handles (I suppose it is not important, but since I copy-pasted the path
from My PC, mine were all backslashes, not forward-slashes as in your
2nd file handle).

My file handles:

file handle mydir /name = 'C:\Documents and
Settings\MartaGG\Escritorio\Nueva carpeta'.
file handle myfile /name ='C:\Documents and
Settings\MartaGG\Escritorio\TEXTOS\Avanzado CUN\KappaPaper.sav'.

Your file handles:

file handle mydir /name = '\\srsv1f\ssb3\GSB_Docum\Temp\arsm\temp'.
file handle myfile /name ='mydir/28042009
Herhaald_coderen_analyse_bestand_test.sav'. (<--- forward slash)

Perhaps the problem has to do with your network drive?

2) After modifying the file "bootstrap4.sps" (to make it run with my
variables, test1&test2, instead of yours), I had it "almost" working (OK
for 4 out of 5 macros). One of the macros has been overmodified, I'm
afraid, and something got lost. I get the following error message right
after the title "Step 2" is printed (steps 1, 3, 4 & 5 are OK).

I haven't been able to spot it.

Run MATRIX procedure:
 >Error encountered in source line #  7622

 >Subscript is out of range.
 >This command not executed.

 >Error encountered in source line #  7623
