So, the links you provided were great, but not perfect. Oddly, when it generated the data dictionary, it re-ordered all of the fields alphabetically, which is kinda useless (imho). BUT, it did kinda put me on the right track. I ended up going to the &quot;variable view&quot; tab and I was able to manually copy the content and paste it into a spreadsheet. This gave me what I was looking for. It was very odd that I couldn't export it to a CSV or something.<br />
Thanks for your help. It got the brain juices flowing!<br />

I have a client using SPSS that wants to migrate some data to another environment. I don't use SPSS and they client is only a &quot;user&quot; of SPSS, not a guru. I'm looking for a way to generate a data dictionary of their table (1000+ fields). Doesn't have to be &quot;perfectly formatted&quot;. But if I can get something close, that would be sufficient. In SQL, you can generate a &quot;Make Table&quot; query, that is a good start towards a data dictionary (field name, type, size...). MS Access has the &quot;Document&quot; feature that is helpful. Is there a way to accomplish something similar in SPSS??

SPSS - Generate Data Dictionary

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

The Math / Science topic primarily includes discussions of mathematics, physics, statistics and economic analysis, but also biology, chemistry and other sciences.

A miscellany is defined as a "collection of various pieces of writing by different authors", but it has come to mean something "Of items gathered or considered together of various types or from different sources" or "a collection or group composed of members or elements of different kinds". The word "miscellaneous" comes from the Latin word "miscere", meaning "to mix." You might have heard the expression "a mixed bag," which applies when you don't quite know what you're going to get. More commonly, a miscellaneous group is made up of an odd group of things that don't fit anywhere else.

Miscellaneous

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
