ADD FILES
ADD FILES
combines cases from 2 up to 50 open data sets or external IBM® SPSS® Statistics data files by
concatenating or interleaving cases. When cases are concatenated, all cases from one file are
added to the end of all cases from another file. When cases are interleaved, cases in the
resulting file are ordered according to the values of one or more key variables.
