### 8.1 BEGIN DATA

    BEGIN DATA.
    …
    END DATA.

`BEGIN DATA` and `END DATA` can be used to embed raw ASCII data in a PSPP syntax file. `DATA LIST` or another input procedure must be used before `BEGIN DATA` (see DATA LIST). `BEGIN DATA` and `END DATA` must be used together. `END DATA` must appear by itself on a single line, with no leading white space and exactly one space between the words `END` and `DATA`, like this:

    END DATA.
