I had the impression that a dataset had to have some content before it really existed and could be named. > >Experiment #2 ------------- Start up SPSS.

The documentation sort of implies that, but it is not very clear. How about experiment #3, then, to clarify what happens to an empty dataset when GET executes, like this: Experiment #3 ------------- Start up SPSS. Then, before you do anything else, run a syntax file like this: DATASET NAME file1. GET 'file1.sav'. DATASET DISPLAY.
