[EpiData-list] Epidata 4.6.0.4 SPSS-Export

Dear all,

I have a little problem with the SPSS-Export of the Epidata-Files. When you export string variables, you can specify the variable delimiter (e.g. "|") but not the text delimiter. The result is a csv file, that is imported in SPSS with quotation marks at the start and the end of every string variable, even if the variable is empty. I found no way to delete these quotation marks during the spss import process except with a quite complicated macro.

Is it possible to change the SPSS export?

Kind Regards,

Juergen Spiegel
