- The problem here would appear to be that there are only three levels of the
- WSFACTOR here, not four. Also, MANOVA requires a covariate for each dependent
- variable and makes you create a set of dummy covariates to run the analysis.
- This error message is kind of foreign to me; I have a feeling it's pretty
- old and may no longer be around, or at least you wouldn't get it on a more
- current system with that same syntax. You need to compute two dummy covariates
- to list after COMM, change the number of levels of the WSFACTOR to 3, and
- stop ANALYSIS(REPEATED) before the = sign.
