</pre></div>

<p>The <code>GET DATA</code> command is used to read files and other data
sources created by other applications.  When this command is executed,
the current dictionary and active dataset are replaced with variables
and data read from the specified source.
</p>
<p>The <code>TYPE</code> subcommand is mandatory and must be the first subcommand
specified.  It determines the type of the file or source to read.
<small>PSPP</small> currently supports the following file types:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>GNM</dt>
<dd><p>Spreadsheet files created by Gnumeric (<a href="http://gnumeric.org">http://gnumeric.org</a>).
</p>
</dd>
<dt>ODS</dt>
<dd><p>Spreadsheet files in OpenDocument format (<a href="http://opendocumentformat.org">http://opendocumentformat.org</a>).
</p>
</dd>
<dt>PSQL</dt>
<dd><p>Relations from PostgreSQL databases (<a href="http://postgresql.org">http://postgresql.org</a>).
</p>
</dd>
<dt>TXT</dt>
<dd><p>Textual data files in columnar and delimited formats.
</p></dd>
</dl>

<p>Each supported file type has additional subcommands, explained in
separate sections below.
