From LimeSurvey Manual
After having downloaded these files you can open them using a raw text editor like notepad to take a look how the exported data looks like. The syntax file holds the commands that should be run to import the data. It is like a programming language inside SPSS. The .dat file contains a comma separated file with all data. We recommend you not to import your data as csv because there is the risk of loosing information about questions, label sets, and so on.
