Subject: Create new variable with values that are 1 less than values of
existing variable
I've run the following syntax only to get the same values in my "fixed"
variables as in the original variables?
compute q66Fixed = q66-1.
compute q67Fixed = q67-1.
compute q68Fixed = q68-1.
execute.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help.
