XEXPORT
        /OUTFILE=’file_name’
        /DIGITS=n
        /DROP=var_list
        /KEEP=var_list
        /RENAME=(src_names=target_names)…
        /TYPE={COMM,TAPE}

The XEXPORT transformation writes the active dataset dictionary and data to a specified portable file.

This transformation is a PSPP extension.

It is similar to the EXPORT procedure, with two differences:

• XEXPORT is a transformation, not a procedure. It is executed when the data is read by a procedure or procedure-like command.
• XEXPORT does not support the UNSELECTED subcommand.

See EXPORT, for more information.
