The contents of the .spj file in the attachment is, after running through "tidy -i --xml":

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<job print="false" syntaxErrorHandling="continue"
syntaxFormat="interactive"
xmlns="http://xml.spss.com/spss/production"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xml.spss.com/spss/production http://xml.spss.com/spss/production/production-1.1.xsd">

  <output outputFormat="viewer"
  outputPath="C:\Users\Matthew\Desktop\view.spv" />
  <syntax syntaxPath="C:\Users\Matthew\Desktop\validation_extract_dla_1302_main.sps" />
  <syntax syntaxPath="C:\Users\Matthew\Desktop\be_sd_cust_step1.sps" />
  <syntax syntaxPath="C:\Users\Matthew\Desktop\be_sd_cust_step2.sps" />
  <syntax syntaxPath="C:\Users\Matthew\Desktop\validation_diff.sps" />
</job>

which seems rather straightforward.

A later XML schema for the .spj format is at http://xml.spss.com/spss/production/production-1.1.xsd
