FILE COMPARISON SIMILAR AND / OR DIFFERENT

[Javier Figueroa]

Compare files

Hello experts SPSS

I hope that all their activities are performing with success, this time has touched me to compare different files in SPSS (.sav) the comparison is basically in structure, labels and values ​​that have done manually, would like to know if there is any method or command to do this comparison and thus make it automatically.

This is an example of two bases.

DATA LIST /XVAR 1 YVAR ZVAR 3-12 CVAR 14-22(A) JVAR 24 GENERO 26.

BEGIN DATA

1  3424  274 ABU DHABI 2 1

2 39932   86 AMSTERDAM 4 2

3  8889  232 ATHENS  2

4  3424  294 BOGOTA    3 1

5 11323  332 LONDON    3 1

6   323  232 MANILA    1 1

7  3234  899 CHICAGO   4 1

8 78998 2344 VIENNA    3 2

9  8870  983 ZURICH    5 2

END DATA.

VALUE LABELS GENERO

1 'Male'

2 'Female'.

DATA LIST /XVAR 1 YVAR ZVAR 3-12 CVAR 14-22(A) JVAR 24 GENERO 26.

BEGIN DATA

1  3424  274 ABU DHABI 2 1

2 39932   86 AMSTERDAM 4 2

3  8889  232 ATHENS  2

4  3424  294 BOGOTA    3 1

5 11323  332 LONDON    3 1

7  3234  899 CHICAGO   4 1

8 78998 2344 VIENNA    3 2

9  8870  983 ZURICH    5 2

END DATA.

VALUE LABELS SEXO

1 'Female'

2 'Male'.

In the example we see that the last variable is called GENERO and has 2 codes that are in a different order, and to see this as I can do in SPSS.

Any suggestion will be welcome.

in advance thank you for your time and help this requirement

Sincerely,
