DO REPEAT won't create new variables
 
|
This syntax worked in 1991. It creates new intermediate variables which need to be reverse coded to generate sets of indices of (un)healthy diet. do repeat a = v158 to v180 v201 to v221 b = r158 to r180 r201 to r221. compute b=a. end repeat. When I run it I get: Error # 4502 in column 10. Text: = An equals sign appears in a variable or value list where it is not expected. It will be ignored. Execution of this command stops. Error # 4001. Command name: end repeat An END REPEAT command has appeared without a previous DO REPEAT command. Execution of this command stops. Error # 4530. Command name: do repeat This command is not allowed inside the DO REPEAT/ END REPEAT facility. The command will be ignored. Execution of this command stops. Error # 4502 in column 5. Text: = An equals sign appears in a variable or value list where it is not expected. It will be ignored. Execution of this command stops. Error # 4285 in column 11. Text: a Incorrect variable name: either the name is more than 64 characters, or it is not defined by a previous command. Execution of this command stops. Error # 4001. Command name: end repeat An END REPEAT command has appeared without a previous DO REPEAT command. Execution of this command stops. Is it me or SPSS?

stand-in variable lists need to be separated with a forward slash. do repeat a = v158 to v180 v201 to v221 /b = r158 to r180 r201 to r221. compute b=a. end repeat. On Tue, May 22, 2018 at 1:09 PM, John F Hall <[hidden email]> wrote:

John, The slash is your friend. do repeat a = v158 to v180 v201 to v221 / b = r158 to r180 r201 to r221. compute b=a. end repeat.

And I doubt the original syntax ever worked without the forward slash. On Tue, May 22, 2018 at 1:18 PM, Anthony Babinec <[hidden email]> wrote:

If wanted to reverse code at the same time, you may also use "ABS". The value
of "1" should be replaced with "n+1" if they are Likert scale "1" to "n" and not a dummy variable. *For dummy. do repeat a = v158 to v180 v201 to v221 /b = r158 to r180 r201 to r221. compute b=ABS(a-1). end repeat. *for a scale 1 to n. do repeat a = v158 to v180 v201 to v221 /b = r158 to r180 r201 to r221. compute b=ABS(a-(n+1)). end repeat. -- Sent from: http://spssx-discussion.1045642.n5.nabble.com/ ===================== To manage your subscription to SPSSX-L, send a message to [hidden email] (not to SPSSX-L), with no body text except the command.
