Since UCINET is a commercial product, and since UCINET has its own list, I
think it is best not to use SOCNET for what are essentially technical
support questions. For information on joining the UCINET list please visit
www.analytictech.com/ucinet.htm .
If you ask your question there, you will learn that if your attribute
filename contains spaces, you must enclose it in quotes, as in
"test 1 group" col 1
This says, Open a file called "test 1 group" and read the first variable in
that file.
You will also find out that the network matrix should contain 1s and 0s
rather than 1s and missing values.
(ok, so I snuck in some technical support -- it just seemed efficient.)

>Greeting.

>Dimitirs and I are using the E-I index function of Ucinet to analyze a two
>mode data about profs of computer science and electrical eng at UC Berkeley
>and Stanford. We try to model relationship of co-foundation, advisory, and
>board director of the companies in and around silicon valley.
>
>For the concept E-I index, we referred Krackhardt, D and Stern, R N (1988)
>Informal Networks and Organizational Crises, Social Psychology Quarterly,
>51, 2, 123-140. (http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/krack/academic/papers.html)
>and Valdis Krebs’ work of Post-Merger Integration
>(http://www.orgnet.com/merger.html).
>
>We met a technical problem in calculating the index with Ucinet. We made up
>a small symmetrical binary dataset and a corresponding attribute dataset to
>test the E-I Index function (network – network properties – E-I index).
>However, after running the function, there is only a Log file, saying
>‘Warning: This procedure ignores direction of ties’, and without the
>expected output file IndE-I. We changed the inputs into different forms,
>but got the same result.
>
>Anybody who met this problem before?
>
>The followings are the test datasets and Log file.

>Input dataset:
> A B C D E F
>A 1 1 1
>B 1 1 1 1 1
>C 1 1 1
>D 1 1 1 1
>E 1 1
>F 1 1 1 1 1

>Attribute dataset:
>A 1
