Hello Gabor. First, the VARIABLE LABELS command does not change the variable name. It only assigns a descriptive label to the variable. So it's not clear to me if you actually want to rename variables, or just assign variable labels that indicate the presence of at least one case with a value of 98.
It would help list members if you provided a small example that shows what the data looks like now, and what you want it to look like afterwards.
HTH.

Hello,
I'm new here, hope my topic is at the good section.
I have a little problem by using syntax. I have a dataset, what contains several variables. Some of them are filled with only value 98, and sysmiss (and none of others has value 98). I would like to write a code what makes the following:
- if a variable contains '98' in any cases, the code rename the variable (with var lab or something similar).
- if a variable doesn't contains '98' in any cases, the code doesn't make anything with its variable name.
I tried with computeing an constans and aggregate my data to make "row-based" solution, but I can't figured out how it could help for me yet.
If it's possible, I prefer ways to solve it, what works without flipping/restructure my dataset, and save my original dataset to a new one (such as xsave).
I don't know is there any solution :/
Thanks in advance,
Gabor
