VDef2SPS creates SPSS syntax to define the variables according to definitions of a specific SPSS data file (*.sav). The script will write into a new syntax window the SPSS syntax needed to define the - variable labels - value labels - missing values as they are already defined in the specified SPSS data file. However, the missing value definitions of short string variables and missing value definitions including lowest or highest (like: MISSING VALUES V1 (LO THRU ..) or MISSING VALUES (.. THRU HI)) will not be included! If the script has finished the user has to save the SPSS syntax (as a .sps-file) by himself. WARNING: Close or save your SPSS data file before running the script because it will not save a current data file and will close it without a warning!
