I am fairly new to syntax writing/coding and need to merge many excel files (with the same set of variables) into one SPSS dataset but it must be done with syntax. So far, all of the loops for completing this that I have found online require the Python Essentials extension which I cannot use as it will not download on a work computer. I assume I will need to use the CONCAT function to merge the files one on top of the other but how do I get SPSS to call on all the files in a folder and then merge them (as it would time consuming and not automated enough to use GET DATA for each individual file before merging)? Any ideas/solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
