Dear Jon,
Thanks a lot once again!
In the unlikely case anyone else would ever like to use this, I'll paste my modified test code below.

Dear all,
I know there's spssaux.GetActiveDatasetName() but can Python also render a list of ALL open datasets? begin program. import SpssClient SpssClient.StartClient() ddlist = SpssClient.GetDataDocuments() for i in range(ddlist.Size()): dd = ddlist.GetItemAt(i) ddname = dd.GetDatasetName() ddpath = dd.GetDocumentPath() print ddname, ddpath SpssClient.StopClient() end program.
TIA!
