You can create an interview script (.mdd) file by importing metadata from any proprietary data format for which a read-enabled Metadata Source Component (MDSC) is available (for more information, see Available DSCs). For example, you can import metadata from a .sav file.

To import metadata from a proprietary data format, click File > Import Metadata.

To export the metadata in a .mdd file to any proprietary data format for which a write-enabled MDSC is available, click File > Export Metadata.
