Thanks, temporary worked! Thanks also to "SPSSINC SPLIT DATASET extension command" I'm checking this right now.

This is a working Syntax (with my more elementary version). But it's quite fast.

*---- Split file and generate new files according to labels of a key variable --.

*------------------------ generate Data (start) ------------------------------.

input program. loop a =1 to 100000 by 1. end case. end loop. end file. end input program. exe.

comp gruppe=RV.BINOM(10,0.5). COMP av_1=RV.NORMAL(1,10). COMP av_2=RV.NORMAL(1,10). COMP av_3=RV.NORMAL(1,10). COMP av_4=RV.NORMAL(1,10). EXECUTE .

SAVE OUTFILE='C:\<path>\FILE_SPLITTEN.sav'.

*--- End: generate Data --------------.

*----- Start -------------------------.

GET FILE='C:\<path>\FILE_SPLITTEN.sav'. DATASET NAME DatenSet1 WINDOW=FRONT.

AUTORECODE VARIABLES=gruppe /INTO gruppe_codiert /PRINT.

DATASET DECLARE anzahl_gruppen. AGGREGATE /OUTFILE='anzahl_gruppen' /BREAK=gruppe /N_BREAK=N.

DATASET ACTIVATE anzahl_gruppen.

BEGIN PROGRAM. import spss FileGROUPS=spss.GetCaseCount() spss.Submit("DATASET ACTIVATE DatenSet1.")

for i in range(FileGROUPS): spss.Submit("temporary.") spss.Submit(" SELECT IF gruppe_codiert = " +str(i) +".") spss.Submit("SAVE OUTFILE='C:/<path>/gruppe_ " +str( i) + ".sav'")

END PROGRAM.
