What don't you understand, Mischa? My syntax and David's are virtually equivalent. He recoded into another variable and I didn't, but the end product is the same.

I suggest you get a basic book on using SPSS and play around with compute and transform features of the menu. You are asking to do some very basic stuff here. You don’t need to even use syntax for this to get recoded.

That's indeed true. I now have 12 months (like january has no.1 and december
has no.12). Now I want to convert this into the seasons, so winter (12,1,2),
spring (3,4,5), summer (6,7,8) and autumn (9,10,11). Any suggestions?

Reply was to:
"You need to post your syntax along with frequencies pre and post RECODE."

My only possible response to that is FACEPALM... WTF.

You probably want to rethink that. Seasons are not delimited by month
boundaries.
Eg only about 10 days of June occur in Summer...etc

I think the OP wants to code the meteorological seasons, not the astronomical
seasons.
