SPSS Write
The WRITE command writes data to an external file. Compare to PRINT. The difference is that WRITE will not begin each line with a space character, and will not delimit values with a space character.

Usage
write outfile="path/to/file" / foo bar baz. write outfile="path/to/file encoding="1252" / foo bar baz. write outfile="path/to/file" / 'a string literal' foo 'another string literal' bar.
By default, variables are printed according to their write format. An alternative format can be specified following the variable names.
write outfile="path/to/file" / foo 1-10 (F,2) bar 11-20 (A). write outfile="path/to/file" / foo (F10.2) bar (A10).
The WRITE command can be used to create multi-record data.
write outfile="path/to/file" /1 foo /2 bar.
