I'm aware of the datafile limitation, but according to the Save Translate
section of the manual, "The RENAMEsubcommand can also be used to change the
names under which variables are saved; because they are used only in the
output, these names do not have to conform to the usual PSPP variable naming
rules. "FWIW the same code does run properly under SPSS.ElioSent from my

they not supported? Elio Spinello Elio Spinello, EdD

Problem with /Rename with Save Translate You don't say what version of
pspp you are using, but so far as I can recall, there haven't been any
changes in save translate for quite a while. I tried the following
syntax and it worked just fine on pspp 1.3.0. Perhaps you can try it too:
data list notable list /x y *. begin data 1 2 3 4
end data. save translate /outfile='xx.csv' /type=csv /replace
/fieldnames /unselected=delete /rename (x y=a b) .
