For the second dataset look into CASESTOVARS command. Once you have the
second dataset in place you can use SUBSTR to concatenate the 3 texts into 1
field.

Oggetto: Combining Variables
Hello All,
I have different sets of cases with multiple entries. I would like to
combine the entries and have them appear all on one line per case.
sample data:
One case record for each course the students completes:
History 1
History 2
History 3
I would like it to appear two different ways:
1.) History 1 History 2 History 3 (all the coures combine in one field,
some how concatnate the 3 different entries into one variable)
2.) History 1, History 2, History 3 (all separated out in 3 new
fields/columns)
Any help would be great!
Thanks in advance,
Michelle
