Can you open SPSS version.24 files in version 27?

  • 1.  Can you open SPSS version.24 files in version 27?

    Posted Tue February 16, 2021 10:48 PM

    Hi,

    I need to buy a new subscription for SPSS after a break from research. The files I have are from SPSS version 24.

    I would like to subscribe and use the latest version of SPSS, version 27.

    Would I be able to open the version 24 files with version 27 SPSS program with no issues?

    Thank you

    You should have no trouble opening V24 files in V27. There is a fixpack for V27 that you should install, too.

    You should know that there are a few small features that were dropped from V27 and that Python 2 code is no longer supported out of the box.

    Great thank you.

    I see the latest interim fix is:

    27.0.1-IM-S27STATC-ALL-IF006

    And there is also a fix pack released 11/18/20:

    27.0-IM-S27STATC-WIN64-MD001

    I should install both of these packs, is that correct?

    Thank you,

    I see three on fix central. I don't know what they fix, but you might as well try all of them.
