Hi Toby -

I know I've done this before more than once, but I don't have SPSS documentation here. I seem to remember SPSS reads a SAS cport file. Using an Access 2000 table as an intermediary might be a good route though, so you and whomever you're sharing data with can both have something to look at on the same platform, if there are translation difficulties with dates or other field definitions.

SAS engines only read SPSS tables, they won't write directly to one.

Good luck

Has or does, anyone done or know, if you can take a SAS dataset and send it out as a SPSS file. I should mention that I am using an os/390 system. (just gotta love that big iron).

Thanks in Advance.
