Triple-S is a specification for survey data. The survey data is stored in a pair of files: a .xml or .sss file and a .csv, .dat, or .asc file. The .xml or .sss file defines the variables and describes the survey. The accompanying .csv, .dat, or .asc file contains the data that is gathered from each respondent.
Variable labels are converted to column headers by default. To convert variable names to column headers, deselect Use Triple-S Labels as Headings in the JMP General preferences.
