Problem with importing exact data dimension from SPSS to MATLAB

I imported a large data dimension 4999 x 421 from SPSS but instead of importing data of exact size, MATLAB is importing data of size 4999 x 256 which means it has neglected some columns. How do i resolve this problem?
Thanks.

Diagnosing your problem would be made much easier if you provided some details about how you are trying to import the data (e.g. the code you are using, or doing it via the GUI, etc).

My guess is, that this is caused by column separator issues.
Maybe MATLAB interprets the to be imported data differnt as of dots, commas etc. If you can post a couple of rows as example?

I am having the same problem. My data file does contain spaces between different cells which are randomly ordered and I do not want to touch them. Is there anyway of solving this problem?
