RE: Importing quanvert file format .pkd to PSPP

[Thambu David]

Dear Ben
Thanks

1. I have attached a screenshot of the error that PSPP suggests when i run the 
sps file that the epidata manager file exported.

2. I have also putting the whole command that i was trying to run below

* EpiData created two files during export

* .

* 1. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\sample.v2.0.sps .

*    is this SPSS command file

* 2. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\sample.v2.0.txt .

*    is an ASCII text file with the raw data

*

* You may modify the commands before running it

* Uncomment (remove the *) the last command (SAVE) if the

* command file should save the data as a SPSS datafile



SET UNICODE=yes.

SET DECIMAL=dot.

We can probably help you if you provide an example of the syntax that
PSPP does not accept.
