Exporting from last version of limesurvey
 I export from SPSS (.sav)
When I try to open .sav file this error occurs (non-valid file)

>Error.  Nombre de comando : GET FILE 
>Archivo de datos de SPSS Statistics no válido: M:\...survey_883_spss.sav (DATA1204) 
>La ejecución de este comando se detiene.

Exporting as syntax and dat file works fine, but it takes me 10 times to have the file ready to work (and I have to export more than 100 surveys).
I tested it on two different Windows 10 computers. One with SPSS22 and the other with SPSS16 none works with LimeSurvey exported files, but no problems with any other spss file (it is not the SPSS program, is the file)

Hi,
why didn't you answer the questions at the beginning about your version, place of hosting, etc.
Please, do this.
