Thank you for your answer. I did try this but got similar errors. I tried all the other spss-specific formats with same result.
A way to get access to the data is: save in sas-xport format (though all labels are lost) then save in another sas-format and asking spss to also save value labels in a sas-format file which can then be edited to extract both value labels and variable labels. These methods are quite laborious and quite complicated, though, and you need access to spss. Ulrich Keller wrote: > Question 2: Try saving the data as an SPSS portable file.
