How to read a Quanvert database in SPSS

[Leo Soares]

Hi all,

I need to convert a Quanvert database (.PKD extension) to a SPSS readable
file format (i.e., .sav or tab-separated ascii files), but unfortunately I
don’t have the Quanvert software.

I know I could import it through SPSS dimension, but the Quanvert format
is extremely tricky and the whole process is very time consuming.


Can anyone help me?

To manage your subscription to SPSSX-L, send a message to
LISTSERV@... (not to SPSSX-L), with no body text except the
command. To leave the list, send the command
SIGNOFF SPSSX-L
For a list of commands to manage subscriptions, send the command
INFO REFCARD

[Oliver, Richard]

So you do not want to use the "Open Dimensions Data" feature available on the File menu in SPSS?

I believe that is a good starting point to read the data in.

 

You will get expect help if you post this on vergeconsulting.com forum;  experts in the Dimensions data model frequent that forum.

 

Good luck!

Yes, Richard. Im looking for an alternative method to export pkd file to
spss that allows direct access to the database.

More direct than editing the SQL provided in the generated GET DATA command?
