FILE Specification

FILEdesignates the IBM SPSS Statistics data file to be read. Use an asterisk, or simply omit theFILE

specification, to designate the current active dataset.

v The file reference can be either a filename enclosed in quotes, a previously declared dataset in the

current session, or a file handle defined on aFILE HANDLEcommand that precedes the matrix program.

v If you omit theFILEspecification, the active dataset is used.

v In a matrix program executed with the INCLUDEcommand, if aSPLIT FILEcommand is in effect, aGET

statement that references the active dataset will read a single split-file group of cases. (A matrix

program cannot be executed from a syntax window if aSPLIT FILEcommand is in effect.)
