I am assuming you mean how do you do this if you have 2 separate
files with different data.  Correct?  Otherwise just use a disk
and pass it back and forth (making backups).  There should be a
merge or join command available to do this for you (I have not
done this using SPSS as I use it for only selected things).
Someone will provide the exact command I am sure.  Otherwise
export to Excel format and use Excel to merge them.  I usually do
this type of thing with SYSTAT, which has the merge and append
commands.
