Hi,

Thanks for looking at the files. Here is the syntax I've been using:

>GET DATA
> /TYPE=TXT
> /FILE="C:\path\to\file\file.csv"
> /ARRANGEMENT=DELIMITED
> /IMPORTCASE=ALL
> /DELIMITERS=";"
> /VARIABLES=
>    VAR001 F4.0
and so on, until
>    VAR159 F2.0.

That is, I'm not using the .SPS file directly, just looking at it for 
information. Note that the example data is not formatted exactly the same way 
as the actual database; only the first ten variables have any possible bearing 
on the issue, the rest is just filler since I couldn't get the problem to show 
up unless I bulked up the file (which is, possibly, some kind of hint as to the 
source of the problem).

I'm not currently at the computer with the data, but I think the major issue is 
the problem at a certain dataset size, since the data shows up just fine up to 
a certain point (of course, I do get the errors saying that a variable should 
be set to string, though I don't see why a certain number of those errors would 
be the cause of any import issues).

I did a little further testing with the command line: when I try to use LIST I 
can specify, say, a thousand cases and they get output just fine. However, LIST 
for all cases results in the aforementioned error. It might be more accurate to 
say that the error is not in GET DATA; rather, the error is in LIST (and 
perhaps other functions that use the whole dataset).

Here is my LIST syntax:
>LIST
> /CASES=FROM 1 TO 1000
> /FORMAT=NUMBERED SINGLE.
which works. But
>LIST
> .
does not work.
