Randamization in spss

[Yogi]

I had a Question,in that there are 10 statements ,from those statements 2 and 3 are together and 5 and 6 are together to be asked ,and the rest of them are asked randamly.I received the data.I need spss syntax code for that?

[Yogi]

In a MULTIPLE RESPONSE Question,
there are 1 to 13 statements.....(like var1 to var 13)
from that RANDOMIZE KEEPING 2 & 3 TOGETHER AND 5 & 10 TOGETHER AND 11-13 TOGETHER.
what is the spss syntax for that scenario?

I don't understand what you mean when you say you want to RANDOMIZE.  Can you provide a brief example showing input and desired output?  Thanks.

Indeed.  This query is unparsable!

My guess is that you want a "random order" that tells you what
order you should ask the questions.  (This is not what was implied
by the other post that said "I have the data.")

To get a random sequence, you can list the Q's as lines of data;
compute a random number; sort by the random number; and list.

BEGIN DATA.
1
2&3
4
5&10
6
7
8
9
11-13
END DATA.

COMPUTE  rand= rv.uniform(0,1).
SORT CASES   by rand.
LIST .

Is that what you want?  There are ways to do this multiple times,
conveniently, if this is what you are looking for.
