SaveAs Method (Python)

Saves the output document to the specified file.

Syntax

SpssOutputDoc.SaveAs(fileName,password=None)

Parameters

fileName. The path and file name of the output file, as a string.

password. An optional string specifying the password that will be required to open the file. Only applies if you want to encrypt the output file. Passwords are limited to 10 characters and are case-sensitive. All spaces, including leading and trailing spaces, are retained.

Creating strong passwords

• Use eight or more characters.
• Include numbers, symbols and even punctuation in your password.
• Avoid sequences of numbers or characters, such as "123" and "abc", and avoid repetition, such as "111aaa".
• Do not create passwords that use personal information such as birthdays or nicknames.
• Periodically change the password.

Warning: Passwords cannot be recovered if they are lost. If the password is lost the file cannot be opened.

Note: Encrypted data files and output documents cannot be opened in versions of IBM® SPSS® Statistics prior to version 21. Encrypted syntax files cannot be opened in versions prior to version 22.
