I am using SAS Studio. I am exporting a df with 57 Observations and 1151 variables. I am using proc export with DBMS = SAV to convert the file into a SAV and move it to my library Folder. I am able to download the file to my machine and open it in SPSS, although only a small portion of the variable names transfer to SPSS.

I ran this code:

proc export data=import outfile='/home/u63943531/Imported Data' dbms=sav; run;

And got “Imported Data.sav” in my library. I then right clicked and selected “Download File.” The file downloads correctly, although most of the variable names when opened in SPSS are auto generated. I want the variable names that were in the SAS df.

It is fine if it remains in my work folder.
