Re: PSPP: Converting .dat to .spv file doesn't work - no error messages

[F. Thomas]

Hi Holger,

You should give a more precise description of the LimeSurvey data file 
so that we can help you.

Which is the format of the LimeSurvey date file  ?
In PSPP the data file that you get when you save is a .sav format like 
any other SPSS data file. As far as I know SPSS maintained the sav 
format since longtime. So, where do you get the info that the SPSS file 
is a SPSS 16 version ?

What do you see when you open the data file in Notepad to read the file 
header ?

Regards,
ftr
