ARCHIVED: In SPSS for Unix, how do I retrieve a saved data set?

To retrieve a saved data set in SPSS, use GET FILE for .sav (system) files, and IMPORT FILE for .por (export) files.

To retrieve a system file created on the same operating system and platform as the one you are working on, use the GET FILE command. For example, to retrieve a system file called data.sav, enter:

GET FILE = 'data.sav'.

An export file is created for compatibility between operating systems (e.g., from Unix to Windows) using the IMPORT FILE command. To retrieve an export file called data.por, enter:

IMPORT FILE = 'data.por'.

For more about statistical and mathematical software, email the UITS Stat/Math Center, visit the center's web page, or phone 812-855-4724 (IUB) or 317-278-4740 (IUPUI). The center is located in Bloomington at 410 N. Park Avenue, and is open for consultation by appointment Monday-Friday 9am-5pm.
