SPSS data file : 6 GET DATA (2265) Unrecognized or invalid variable format


I work currently on SPSS export for LimeSurvey

but with this file: https://framabin.org/?f7ceab1ae826c5a1#SgcIFGfnOsS6fdZ/OT9DzocrUSm44BStTU9MsTIs++Q= user on SPSS (v25) receive 6 GET DATA (2265) Unrecognized or invalid variable format. The format is invalid. For numeric formats, the width or decimals value may be invalid.

Some of variables :

 /TYPE=TXT
 /FILE='survey_832885_SPSS_data_file.dat'
 /DELCASE=LINE
 /DELIMITERS=","
 /QUALIFIER="'"
 /ARRANGEMENT=DELIMITED

Whole file on the bin. But i'm totally unsure of the fix to do ?

Looking difference with another one, there are the .0, but another spss user tell me it's OK for integer value …

Thanks
