Activating a flipped file

[Mario Giesel]

When I flip a file with

 

FLIP.

 

the new file is not active in SPSS 15.

How do I activate it so that further calculations are done in this file?

 

I tried some DATASET ACTIVATE commands but could not find an effect.

 

Thanks for any help.

 

Good luck,

 Mario
