In that case, I think you were correct.  You need to do something like:

add files /file='foo.sav' /file='few.sav'.

I hope this helps.

     Thank you John. Could you try with an example? If a I have 2 files with the
     same variables, that is: a partner and me are filling the same database but
     separately, we have finished collecting and we want to mix together in only
     one database. My file is called foo.sav, his is called few.sav
     
     How could I do it?? What must I write in sintaxis?
     
     Thanks and sorry.
