Convert .csv to .sav file (SPSS format)

Question

In google i found a lot of links, where i can convert .sav to .csv online, but i, actually, can't find any link or program, which can make next export ".csv -> .sav".

It's really need to use that kind of files in SPSS (i use SPSS 19 ver.) 'cause a lot of db's, finding in the internet, state information for next analysis in .csv format.

Does anyone know, is it real? If yes, where i can find that solution?

Solution

To save a .csv file as a .sav file just open the .csv file in SPSS then go to Save As in the File menu and it will automatically select .sav as the default file type.

But in SPSS, when i open file, needed extension is missing. And if i wanna open file, choose any type of file, then open .csv, it can't understand the format and don't open it normally

I've never encountered that before (rarely open .csv files in SPSS though). Could it be a problem with the .csv file itself? Can you provide a link to the .csv file?
