Juris,
How did you get the variable view table to export to a file? I'd like to
learn how to do that as I've assumed that you couldn't do that.
As to your specific question, I'd just write some syntax. Basically, the
only difference is that you extracted the first character from the Type
variable. That's easily done using the substr function. Look at the string
functions subsection of the universals section in the syntax reference or
search for 'function' in help.

>>I have data and i need only save variable view table from SPSS , as
example down,
Name Type Width Decimals
1 VAR00001 Numeric 8 2
2 VAR00002 String 2 0
3 VAR00003 Numeric 3 2
4 VAR00004 Numeric 4 2
I need transform data variables in text file need look like this
VAR00001 N 8 2
VAR00002 A2
VAR00003 N 3 2
VAR00004 N 4 2
What do you think is the best way to approach this? I can see three ways
to restructure
A) some macro
B) some script
C) python
