Hi Shaljan,

It depends on the form of the data, but the basic form can be similar to this:

Temp. Select if country = "Czech Republic". Save outfile = "c:/czech.sav" /comp.

Copy and edit it in the syntax window and run it using Run->All.

Best regards

Jan

Hi,

I am working on a large scale data. I need to pull out the data for a particular country and save the same as a different file. How could I do this using SPSS?

Many thanks, Shaljan
