First do a K-means, 2 cluster, select Write final as (select Options
(?) in the main window of the procedure) ...
You get the file.
Do the Hierarchical - 2 clusters and get the centroid data with Means
procedure.
Open the previously saved file, replace the data in SPSS and save.
Now use the K-means again but instead of Write final select Read
initial (or something like that).

If you try to create a data file directly it doesn't seem to work.
There is however a quicker way if you use the syntax, but I'm afraid
I've forgotten it.
