I am writing out statistical results in SPSS with code like
OMS
/ SELECT Tables Headings
/ DESTINATION FORMAT = OXML OUTFILE='C:\Temp\outfile.xml'.
The syntax file is saved as UTF-8 (with bookmark). It has some words with umlauts (german funny characters like ä, ö, ü). When I open the syntax file, it displays these umlauts as ü, ö etc. Needless to say, in the output xml file, the umlauts are still garbled.
How can I specify what encoding the syntax file is in? The bookmark (BOM) does not seem to be doing the trick.
If not, what encoding should I use for the syntax file?
