Question Posted 07/19/18:
Hello,
I am trying to use the spss merge files and it appears that there is an issue with the code. I have tried rearranging it and looking else where online for a solution but have not had any luck. I keep getting error "Error # 4385. Command name: DATA LIST
>More variables appeared in the variable list than formats were specified for.
>Execution of this command stops." Has anyone else had this problem? Thank you for your help.

If you are mainly interested in the ADNIMERGE file that merges several commonly used variables, I would recommend downloading that specific file rather than trying to use one of the packages. The file is listed just above the packages as "Key ADNI tables merged into one table". There is a corresponding data dictionary file available for it. This is a .csv file which can be imported into SPSS. If variables of interest are missing from this file, you can then download the specific file of interest (also .csv files) which can then be merged.
