How to copy cases until the end of rows?

[fatmayuliana]

Hello. Im Fatma.
I want to ask about the syntax how to copy some cases until the end of the rows in my dataset?

If i copy it one by one, it needs so much times.

For example.
Id Var_A
1       15
2.      12
3.      11
4.      17
5.
6.
...
...
1200.


I want to make that one become:
Id Var_A
1.       15
2.       12
3.       11
4.       17
5.       15
6.       12
...        ...
...        ...
1200.  17


Thank you for your concern.


Best Regards,


Fatma

Hello Fatma.  Your example below suggests that you have a file with Id
ranging from 1 to 1200, but with the values of Var_A appearing only in rows
1 to 4.  If it is set up that way, the following ought to do what you want:

* Use the LAG function to fill in the missing values.
IF MISSING(Var_A) Var_A = LAG(Var_A, 4).
* Check that it worked as intended.
LIST /CASES FROM 1 to 16.
LIST /CASES FROM 1193 to 1200.

If that is not what you want to do, please clarify.  

Please note too that at the time of my response, your message was visible
via Nabble, but had not been posted to the actual UGA mailing list.

HTH.

Yes, that was what i mean.

Thank you Mr. Bruce.

About the subscription, i have subscribed through the message i have received in my email. But i dont know why my question was not sent to mailing list.

How to fix it?

[Bruce Weaver]

As I write this, Nabble still says that neither of your two posts has been
posted to the actual mailing list yet.  So something is still wrong.  Did
you get an e-mail confirming your membership?  

Perhaps you should try subscribing via the "more options" link at the top of
the Nabble archive for the list:

   http://spssx-discussion.1045642.n5.nabble.com/

It's probably more straightforward than sending commands to the list-server
via e-mail.  

Anyway, good to hear your actual SPSS problem has been solved.

I didn't see it in the Moderator's queue.
Here is another one liner for Fatma:

COMPUTE X=MAX(X,LAG(X,4)).

Thank You Mr. David for your concern in my question.

I have been tried with Mr Bruce's syntax.

I'll try it too.

Best Regards,

From Nabble, it appears that your last two posts have been accepted by the
mailing list.  So whatever you've done to fix it has worked.

It seems that time is the answer.  The post never showed up in the moderation
queue probably because Fatma had subscribed.  You would not believe the
amount of useless SPAM which piles up in the mod queue every day.  Probably
something like 100 posts or more.  Of these there are maybe 1-3 legitimate
questions per week.  Oh the elephanting drudgery.
