Different subsets of the same datafile to analyze

[Arnaldo Ferrari Nasi]

Hi List,

This is the situation:
I have a long syntax that makes several analyses.
I have one dataset to analyse.
In this dataset there is a variable "target" that assumes 1 to 10 values.
I have to analyse 10 subsets of the data selected each time for a different
value of the target variable.

I do it "manually".

get file  "c:\data.sav".
select if (target =1).
- run syntax -

get file  "c:\data.sav".
select if (target =2).
- run syntax -

...

get file  "c:\data.sav".
select if (target =10).
- run syntax -


How can I do this automatically?

Thanks a lot,
Arnaldo.

Hi,
