Exchanging Data with IBM SPSS Statistics Data Files (MATRIX-END MATRIX command)

Matrix programs can read and write IBM® SPSS® Statistics data files.

• The GET and SAVE statements read and write ordinary (case-oriented) IBM SPSS Statistics data files, treating each case as a row of a matrix and each ordinary variable as a column.

A matrix program cannot contain more than 100 SAVE commands.

• The MGET and MSAVE statements read and write matrix-format data files, respecting the structure defined by IBM SPSS Statistics when it creates the file.
• Case weighting in a data file is ignored when the file is read into a matrix program.
