ARCHIVED: In an interactive SPSS session in Unix, how do I retrieve and execute a saved command file?

If you are running SPSS in command line mode (i.e., if you invoked SPSS on a Unix host by typing spss -m), use the include command as follows:

Replace pathname with the directory path to your command file, and replace filename with the name of the file. This command will retrieve and automatically execute the commands in the file you include. It does not allow you to examine or change the command file, but rather executes the commands in the file. The path and filename must be enclosed within single quotes, and the command must end with a period.
