Have raw data in .cvs file and a separate Syntax file, how do I?

Page 3 Productions
Hello SPSS Wizards.

I have raw data in .csv file and a separate .sps syntax file, how do I
use these two files to get my data into SPSS 14.0?  I can import the
text in through the text wizard.but I have a couple of loops in my
survey data that are causing me all kinds of headaches.  I was given a
syntax file along with my raw data from my on-line survey software.and
had assumed that that would do all my formatting for me.  But can't
figure our quite how to actually do that!?!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Warmly,

KP

        Kevin,
        It is not possible to help you unless you give us more details. It
would be very useful to know the structure of your dataset, the syntax you
are using, and the kind of headaches you are having with it. Then possibly
somebody could recommend something you could actually do to get over your
undoubtedly sorry plight.
