sorry, you are completely right! sps is not the extension for portable file! sorry for the time I make you spend. I try to make my problem more clear. I exporting a dataset from limesurvey (a free software for internet survey). It works very fine and it allow to export in different format such as csv and excel. this fine, but what I like from spss formats is the variables labels. limesurvey declares to export in spss, but it export in sps format which is not a format but a code actually. I realize it just now, sorry. I attach an extract of the code here below. do you have any suggestion on how to manage that? I think it will be great if we can improve the interconnettivity among free software. thanks again.. livio
