To facilitate importing the IFILE=, ISFILE=, PFILE=, SFILE= and XFILE= files into spreadsheet and database programs, the fields can be separated by commas, and the character values placed inside " " marks.

 

CSV=N                Use fixed field length format (the standard)

CSV=Y or CSV=,        Separate values by commas (or their international replacements) with character fields in " " marks.

CSV=T                Separate values by tab characters with character fields in " " marks (convenient for EXCEL).

CSV=S                SPSS format.
