FILE Subcommand (GET command)
FILE
specifies the IBM® SPSS® Statistics data
file to be read. FILE
is required and can be specified
only once. It must be the first specification on GET
.
LOCK Keyword
The LOCK
keyword only applies
when opening a file from a IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository. It specifies
whether the file is locked (in the repository) when opened. Locking
a file prevents other users from modifying it while you are working
with it. Other users can open locked files but they cannot save them
back to the repository. The lock is released when the file is closed
or when the current session ends.
- By default, files are opened as locked.
- The
LOCK
keyword is ignored if the specified file does not reside in a IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository.
See the topic File Specifications for IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository Objects for more information.
PASSWORD Keyword
The PASSWORD
keyword
specifies the password required to open an encrypted IBM SPSS Statistics data
file. The specified value must be enclosed in quotation marks and
can be provided as encrypted or as plain text. Encrypted passwords
are created when pasting command syntax from the Save Data As dialog.
The PASSWORD
keyword is ignored if the file is not
encrypted.
