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?
