Open POR File

The POR file extension is used to tag the ASCII text data files generated by SPSS.

SPSS, or Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences, is an application used for data mining, statistical analysis, text analysis and for deployment surveys of various kinds.

ASCII is a character code based on the Latin alphabet, as used in modern English.

ASCII was created by the American Standards Committee (belonging to the American National Standards Institute, or ANSI) as an evolution of the code sets then used in telegraphy and telecommunications.

The POR format file stores the extracted data in plain text format and is easily readable by other computer programs.

The fact that the POR format is plain text, makes the exchange of data between programs and other computer systems much easier and faster.

The POR file extension is considered a portable version of native SPSS files.
