Dear all,

I am importing a CSV format data into SPSS 21, the problem am facing is that I am getting more cases than the data contains.And the cases are special characters.

I doubt this data is not supporting due to some reason follows...........,Once the data is imported into SPSS I can see double quotes, some words, colon, comma and many other special characters.

for more details :

I had 1000 cases and after importing I am getting 8622 cases, which include lots special characters and words which infact its not there in the data. This is the major problem, as I can get this to be done by using excel but I am having data more 30GB and more than excel supports. so in this case I need pull using CSV format. Is there any way or any method to pull CSV data into spss of the above mentioned characters in the CSV data.

thanks all
