@cmd{GET} clears the current dictionary and active dataset and
file on disk. Only the active dataset read from the file
is affected by these subcommands.
+PSPP tries to automatically detect the encoding of string data in the
+file. Sometimes, however, this does not work well encoding,
+especially for files written by old versions of SPSS or PSPP. Specify
+the ENCODING subcommand with an IANA character set name as its string
+argument to override the default. The ENCODING subcommand is a PSPP
+extension.

@cmd{GET} does not cause the data to be read, only the dictionary. The data
is read later, when a procedure is executed.
