Opening LIS Files

The LIS file type is primarily associated with SPSS.

What is a LIS file?

LIS files mostly belong to SPSS by IBM. A LIS file is a listing created by Pro*C/C++ embedded SQL programming precompiler of Oracle Database. Another type of SPSS file contains statistical data saved by some versions of SPSS for UNIX-like operating systems. LIS is also the filename extension of a report generated by a program created using the SQR (Structured Query Reporting) add-on of Oracle database. Alesco online payroll management system uses a LIS file to save payroll information. PQMethod Q-studies (psychology and social sciences) research software saves a report in a LIS file. PrimeSim HSPICE analog circuit simulator saves an output listing in an LIS file.

How to open LIS files

You need a suitable software like SPSS to open a LIS file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your LIS file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a LIS file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Programs that open and convert LIS files:

SPSS by IBM
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. LIS files are often referred to as SPSS simple text files because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
Alesco (payroll information) by UWA
Alesco is an online payroll management system used by the University of Western Australia. It saves payroll information in a LIS file. This file format is classified as Simple text file.
PQMethod (report) by Peter Schmolck
PQMethod is a statistical data analysis software used for Q analysis in psychology and social science circles. It saves the report of a Q analysis in a LIS file. This file format is classified as Simple text file.
PrimeSim HSPICE (output listing) by Synopsys
PrimeSim HSPICE is a cross-platform analog circuit simulation software. It uses a LIS file to save the output listing generated after a circuit simulation is run. This file format is classified as Simple text file.
Pro*C/C++ (listing) by Oracle
Pro*C/C++ is an embedded SQL programming language and precompiler available as an Oracle Database add-on. It saves a listing in a LIS file. This file format is classified as Simple text file. Related links: Pro*C
SQR Viewer (report) by Oracle
SQR Viewer is a component of the Structured Query Reporting (SQR) application for Oracle Database. Users can view a LIS file containing a report created by an SQR program. This file format is classified as Simple text file. Related links: Sublime
Sublime (data) by Sublime
Sublime is a cross-platform code editing application with syntax highlighting and build tools. It can open and edit a LIS file containing listing information and other LIS text files such as those containing clearing reports distributed by the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. This file format is classified as Simple text file.
VAX (program listing) by DEC
VAX (Virtual Address Extension) is a discontinued mid-range 32bit computer. It saved a program listing in a LIS file. This file format is classified as Simple text file.

LIS file format:

Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. In the following you will find our evaluation of the LIS files:

The LIS file extension is quite widespread and includes a lot of different file formats for different programs. The file formats most commonly found in LIS files are:

20% of all LIS files use the same file format, which have the signature -------------------------------------------------. These files are text files and can therefore be read using a text editor. A typical file size is 1 KB. The file type is a fairly new file format. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as ------------, ANZ Transactive Files, Delimiter, Disburse ID, Period End Date and Update Mode. Files like these are sometimes connected to rcanztg, srka, smia and soba.
15% of all LIS files start with the magic bytes , which are always the first bytes of this file format. These files are text files and can therefore be read using a text editor. A typical file size is 61 KB. The following keywords are characteristic: Alesco Human, G4S - Production, Resource Management, System and RC431 13.3.

The remaining 65% of all LIS files are different files with different signatures, often e.g. WordPerfect, XML, Page, PQMethod, Period and Apr. The category is hkccmk, cupones, conc, skraa, uxpbpin, mitchellw, fyrjvch, school, ncdex, list or sept. If you want to find out what your LIS file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.

a lis data is a special file format by IBM and should only be edited and saved with the appropriate software.

How to solve problems with LIS files

Associate the LIS file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open data files. Because only the current version supports the latest LIS file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the IBM manufacturer website after an available SPSS update.
To make sure that your LIS file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
