open a new instance of SPSS paste the line below into a syntax window, run it.
spssinc process files /help.

If the csv files do not have a line with the variable names and if (you have a variable in the file OR it makes no difference which source file cases come from),
use your OS to copy all the files into one file
in Windows copy all the files into a folder e.g. c:\many\
Create a new folder e.g., c:\allin1\
open a command window
enter  commands something like this
cd c:
copy c:\many\*.csv c:\allin1\big.csv
