This is an empirical question that can be easily tested so you ought to try
it.
When you do that you'll find that the answer is no. Filtering only affects
which cases are analyzed by procedures such as FREQUENCIES.
Use DO IF instead.

Subject: Re: Recode the First Day's Data
Dear Lister(s)
I have data collected from field at different data as follows.
S_DAT FREQUENCY
20080408 49 20080409 15
20080410 69
Something was wrong with first day's data in design, so I have to recode
first day's data. Could I use the following SPSS syntax to recode first
days's data and then do frequency to all data including all datas. Any
suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!
