But isn't IDC about cross-CASE comparisons, as the name suggests? I thought the OP wanted a cross-variable comparison?
Or maybe I misunderstood. Anyway, a cross-var comparison can be done like this:
set mprint = on.
begin program.
import spss, spssaux
varDict = spssaux.VariableDict()
firstvar = spssaux.GetVariableNamesList()[0]
spss.Submit("compute n_diff = 0.")
for var in varDict:
spss.Submit("if ( %s ne %s ) n_diff = n_diff + 1." % (var.VariableName, firstvar))
spss.Submit("""variable label n_same 'number of different values'.
value labels n_diff 0 'all values are the same'.
fre n_diff.""")
end program.
Cheers!!

Hi all,
My database consists of 225 variables and 223 cases. How to identify the cases with the same values across all the variables.
Thank you.
