Hi Giselher, 

Instead of the above one-line script, you can try the following script 
which adds the variable names to the column long names: 

//////////////////////////////////////////
worksheet -i 0 var; //insert at 1st column
nr=wks.maxRows;
nr2=nr/2;
for(ii=1; ii<nr; ii=ii+2) { //move var to 1st col
  col(1)[ii+1]$=col(2)[ii]$;
}
for(ii=1; ii<=nr2; ii++) {  //remove original var rows
  range bb = col(1)[ii:ii];
  mark -d bb;
}
wtranspose type:=long col:=first ow:=<new>; //transpose
delete col(1); //delete 1st column
//////////////////////////////////////////

Hope this works.

Hi Giselher,

In the last "Save Filters" page of the Import Wizard, you can turn ON the 
"Save Filter" check box, and enter the name of the filter; and turn ON the check 
box of "Specify Advanced Filter Options", and press "Next" button. 
Now you get the extra page, "Advanced Options". Enter the following x-function 
command in the box to transpose the impoort result:
   wtranspose;
Click Finish button to finish the process. 

Of course, you can also manually transpose the imported data after importing by choosing 
"Worksheet: Transpose" menu. 

Hope this helps.
