Syntax

SpssOutputDoc.ExportDocument(subSet,fileName,format)

Parameters

subSet. Specifies whether all items, all visible items, or all selected items are exported. See available choices below.

fileName. Full path and file name for the file containing the exported items.

format. Specifies the export format. See available choices below.

On Windows, it is recommended to use raw strings for file paths, or replace backslashes with forward slashes (IBM® SPSS® Statistics accepts a forward slash for any backslash in a file specification). Raw strings are specified by prefacing the string with r, as in r'c:\examples\mydata.sav'. In raw mode, Python treats all backslashes in the string as the backslash character and not as the start of an escape sequence.
