What is the command for closing a spss data file and open a
new file after saving old file using Spss Syntax I am trying this. GET FILE='D:\SPSSKRFP\b.sav'. COMPUTE MID = B1 . EXECUTE . *Define Variable Properties. *MID. FORMATS MID (F8.0). EXECUTE. SAVE OUTFILE='D:\SPSSKRFP\b.sav' /COMPRESSED. ************************** All computation are happening.
But here I want to save and close B.sav and open D.sav as per my syntax. GET FILE='D:\SPSSKRFP\d.sav'. COMPUTE MID = D1 . EXECUTE . *Define Variable Properties. *MID. FORMATS MID (F8.0). EXECUTE. SAVE OUTFILE='D:\SPSSKRFP\d.sav' /COMPRESSED. The file B is not being closed in my syntax. My Syntax says
open b.sav. do something and after saving b.sav. I want to open D.sav
and do something …… I hope u get my problem How it can be done. With Regards Manoj India. |

Here’s where the GUI menus come in useful. To open a *.sav file, just navigate to it and double click on it. To close it click on the red X: if you’ve made changes it will ask you if you want to save them. To save a file with a new name, click on File > Save as … Navigate to folder , write name and save. SPSS remembers the last folder visited. Have a look at the entry level syntax-based tutorials on my site.

Does your version support multiple datasets? If it does, do you use multiple datasets? In the example you show below, no dataset names were assigned. In that case, when you open the second file, the first one will be closed.
With dataset names, it would be something like: GET FILE='D:\SPSSKRFP\b.sav'. dataset name B. * do your computations, without most (or all) of the EXECUTES. SAVE OUTFILE='D:\SPSSKRFP\b.sav' /COMPRESSED. GET FILE='D:\SPSSKRFP\d.sav'. dataset name D. dataset close B. * computations on file D. SAVE OUTFILE='D:\SPSSKRFP\d.sav' /COMPRESSED. * use NEW FILE if you want to close D now. new file. dataset close D. /* or close ALL to close all but the new file. HTH.

Manoj Look at the suite of DATASET commands. They provide servces for opening and closing multiple datasets (ie files) via syntax. One method is to get your first file into a named dataset, do your tranformations, save it, then get your next file into a different dataset, and then close the first dataset. Or you could open both files first into their own named datasets, activate the first one and work on it, then save it and close the dataset, leaving the second one active to be worked on.
