Subject:      convert text file to SPSS
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hi list members,

I would like to convert a text file to SPSS file using syntax. The syntax I
wrote is as the following,

DATA LIST FILE = 'C:\File.txt' FIXED RECORDS=1 TABLE /
 V1    1-  6
 V2    7-  36 (A)
 V3    37-  41
 V4    42-  42
 V5     43-  45
 V6     46-  46 (A)
 ...

When I ran this syntax, transformations  were pending for very very long
time. I am wondering if the syntax is wrong or the transformations will be
taken very long time. Any thought would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Nan
