an Excel file without all the notes!! I don't want to delete them with
the point and click way...

Perhaps you can modify this script:

similarly you can do the same for warnings, the log, etc.
I suggest you have these <shown> until after you have checked all of the
output. Then change the viewer options while you do a final run. Export
the the output specifying only the visible stuff. Then put them back
while you are developing your run.

While your Viewer preference settings (Edit>Options>Viewer) control
whether Notes, Logs etc are initially displayed or not, you can also
use the SPSSINC MODIFY OUTPUT extension command to change the
visibility of each type of Viewer object. This package includes a
dialog box as well as standard SPSS syntax. It requires the Python
programmability plugin and at least version 17. Here is an example
that hides all Notes and Log items.
SPSSINC MODIFY OUTPUT LOGS NOTES PROCESS=ALL
/VISIBILITY VISIBLE=FALSE.
The syntax also includes an option to delete these items, but that is
not provided in the dialog box.
You can download this package from SPSS Developer Central
(www.spss.com/devcentral).

Thank you all!!
I finally choose to set up viewer options, I found the easier way for
doing this.
