Re: modify vars

[ft gmail]

Thank you for the clarification. This is a pity as the command was 
simple and helpful.

My workaroung was:

GET FILE="C:\Users\data\xx.sav".
SAVE OUTFILE="C:\Users\data\xxreordered.sav"
  /KEEP
{unconcerned variables}
reordered variables
{unconcerned variables} .
GET FILE="C:\Users\data\xxreordered.sav".
