Evaluate missing values first:
do if missing(q1) or missing(q2).
compute q3=0.
else if q1=1 & q2=1.
compute q3=1.
else.
compute q3=0.
end if.

Subject: Basic Conditional Compute Syntax
I have three existing numeric variables, Q1, Q2, and Q3.
How do I write the syntax to give Q3 a value of 1 if Q1=1 and Q2=1, and
give Q3 a value of 0 if Q1 and Q2 contain any other combination of
values or system missing?
Examples:
If Q1=1 and Q2=1, Q3 should =1.
If Q1=6 and Q2=1, Q3 should =0.
If Q1=system missing and Q2=1, Q3 should =0.
If Q1=system missing and Q2=system missing, Q3 should =0.
