Re: An easy question

I think that 'ADD FILES' is not what you want.

If you are merely trying to open a system ('*.sav') file, then you should be 
reading
section 9.3 which says:

     GET
             /FILE={'FILE_NAME',FILE_HANDLE}
             /DROP=VAR_LIST
             /KEEP=VAR_LIST
             /RENAME=(SRC_NAMES=TARGET_NAMES)...
             /ENCODING='ENCODING'.

Like the text says, all subcommands except /FILE are optional,  So if you
have a file called "foo.sav", then you would write:

get /file='foo.sav'.

Alternatively, if you are trying to open a different kind of file, then you
should be reading section 9.4 GET DATA.

I hope this helps.

     Sorry for my question. I am starting using PSPP and I have some easy
     troubles. I tried to find the answer but I couldn't.
     
     I would like to add files, I see the next sintaxis but I don't understand
     what I must write for my files.
     
     /FILE={*,???file name???}
     [/RENAME=(src names=target names). . .]
     [/IN=var name]
     [/SORT]
     
     I write this sintaxis when I have one or the files opened. In  file name I
     write the name of the other file. What must I write instead of  src names
     or  target names or  var name ?
     
     I am sure you are thinking I am very lost it is not too hard. I think too.
     Could anybody help me?? Thank you a lot.
