I don't know what SPSS can read, having fortunately not had to use it for a 
while. However, I think you might be looking for the official Stata command 
-outsheet-, which outputs data to a generic spreadsheet that can be input 
by Excel and other spreadsheet programs. (Type -help outsheet- in Stata to 
find out more.)

I hope this helps.
