I have some SPSS metadata files (*.mdd). However, I do not have SPSS installed on my computer and I do not know how to use SPSS. I want to open the files in either Stata, SAS, R or Excel. Stat-Transfer only allows for SAV and portable files to be converted, and I am not familiar with MySQL either. Any help is appreciated!
mdd files are produced by SPSS Data Collection, not by SPSS Statistics or Modeler. There is an OLEDB driver for these, but you would need to contact the new owner of Data Collection, UNICOM Systems, Inc., a Division of UNICOM Global, or unicomsi.com to see about availability. Of course, you would need an app that supports OLEDB.
