Please provide examples of what the input file and the desired output file look like.

Is it possible to export the data weighted to a new file and then use them in another program?
I have binary data and numerical version of SPSS is PASW 18.
 Thank you very much

I asked for examples of the two files in my earlier reply because it's not clear (to me, at least) whether the weights are counts are something else.  So what are they?  If they are counts, take a look at LOOP and XSAVE.

Using SPSS a data set including a variable containing the weights of the different examples (cases), I would like to weight the cases (using "Data->Weight cases") and then export the weighted data into a file (not necessarily a SPSS |file) containing the weighted data, and then finally to remove the variable used for weighting. Is there a way to export a SPSS data file by prior applying the "weights cases" and then keeping the weighted data in the external file, which has not necessarily to be a SPSS file?

Please answer Bruce's questions before asking this again (what is this? the 3rd time).
Meanwhile this question has been asked and answered countless times (check the archives).
If you have a Manual handy!  Look up LOOP and XSAVE!
Most other applications don't have the concept of WEIGHT so you need to replicate the cases.
SEE LOOP XSAVE.  If the weights are fractional then yer shit outa luck!
