The SPSS Statistics Script file is a proprietary format originally developed by SPSS Inc. and currently maintained by IBM for use in social science research. It is utilized for automating data management tasks, executing complex statistical procedures, and generating analytical reports within the SPSS software environment. As a legacy format primarily used in older versions of the software, it poses minimal security risks and is largely preserved for compatibility with archived datasets.
