#### 5.1.5 Saving data to a PSPP file. ¶

If you want to save your data, along with the variable definitions so that you or other PSPP users can use it later, you can do this with the `SAVE` command.

The following syntax will save the existing data and variables to a file called `my-new-file.sav`.

    PSPP> save outfile='my-new-file.sav'.

If `my-new-file.sav` already exists, then it will be overwritten. Otherwise it will be created.
