Convert z-scores to percentiles

[Edgar F. Johns-2]

I have a dataset with 8 variables that I’ve converted to z-scores (from a normative sample). I want to translate these z-scores to percentiles. Is there an easy way to do this within SPSS? Thanks.

two ways
type "RANK ." into a syntax window. put your cursor on the word RANK. key <f1>.
On many keyboard the <F1> key is also labelled <help> {it may be another key for help on OSs other than Windows.}

compute percentile = cdfnorm(z) *100.
