What is a ‘screen reader’? I think this addresses your question: In the Data window, there is a Data menu drop down box. Near the bottom of the box is ‘Select variables’. That is what you need to use to select cases for country ‘16’. Gene Maguin From: SPSSX(r) Discussion [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Faiz Rasool Hi all, I’m working with PEW global spring 2010 dataset. 21 countries have been surveyed and the survey data has been entered in one data document. I’d like to create a file which contains all the information about only one country. I’ve looked at select cases, filter variables, and split file. I’m sure, though, that I’m doing something wrong or I’m missing something. As I cannot achieve what I want to. The information of the country I want to export to a new data document is coded as 16. There is one variable labeled country, and it has been coded 1 to 21, each code representing a country. Unfortunately, I cannot use syntax to achieve this (I use a screen reader to use SPSS and syntax editor cannot be used with it). So I hope there is a way of doing this from a GUI. Thanks for the help, Regards, Faiz. |

Gene, thank you for your reply. A screen reader is software that reads the contents of the screen for visually impaired users. On computers using the Windows operating system, Microsoft Narrator is an example of screen reader and on Apple devices Voiceover is an example of screen reader. In the data menu (accessed by the key combination alt+D), I notice: Define variable properties, set measurement level, define dates, define multiple response, validation, identify duplicates, identify unusual cases, transpose, compare data, merge file, aggregate, copy data properties, select cases, weight cases, split file, copy dataset, restructure dataset, sort cases, sort variables, Unfortunately, I cannot notice select variables. Am I missing something? My goal is to export all the data of country coded 16 in the country variable to a new file. Thanks for your help, Faiz.

On version 20, select cases is below split file and above weight cases. From: Faiz Rasool [mailto:[hidden email]] Gene, thank you for your reply.

Faizool If you can read this with your software: From the data editor, click on File > New > Syntax; In new syntax editor type: Temporary. Select if country = 16. Then do your analysis.
