Hi Forum,

we've been forced to use SPSS 15.0 by our clinical computer department. Some features are quite fine, but there's one which is very annoying when working with syntax. Example: I have a file, let's say FILE.SAV. This file is aggregated into FILEAGGR.SAV. I open it with GET and want to save it under the name of the original file FILE.SAV. With the new version, I have to close the original file manually, because it remains open. Even if I use another name, I have two tables open which "irritates" the syntax from time to time.

Is there a way to close a file by syntax, which I have not detected so far or can this problem be solved in another way.

An answer would be greatly appreciated.

Michael
