Although they did not say it it looks like some other section of the agency can produce SAS XPORT files.


If the people I am working with can produce SAS XPORT files, that would be better than XML because I have used XPORT file before.  But I would still like to hear about. XML files in case they cannot produce the SAS files.

I am leaning toward 1 CSV file vs many pages in excel.
However, I have never used XML (SDMX)

Has anybody used XML (SDMX) to get data into SPSS? 
What do I need to consider?
