SPSS v.19: Codebook vs Frequencies: code 0 disappeared

Eduard Bonet
Hello All,
 
I have been working with the Trial version of SPSS v.19 and have come across a discrepancy in the outputs I get after running Codebook and Frequencies on one variable (Education attainment) that has the following codes and labels:
 

.00

1.00 “Illiterate”

2.00 “Read and write”

3.00 “Primary School

4.00 “Intermediate School”

5.00 “Secondary School”

6.00 “Diploma after secondary School”

7.00 “University Degree”

8.00 “Post Graduate Degree”

9.00 “Others”

Total

 
When I run Frequencies (Analyze --> Descriptive Statistics --> Frequencies) I can see all the codes, but when I run Codebook (Analyze --> Reports --> Codebook) the code 0 is not reflected in the output.
 
Can anybody please suggest an explanation? Is this a bug?
 
Thanks in advance.

I have not yet used CODEBOOK. But try this.
go to the "variables view" and see if you have a label for zero.
If not enter one via the variables view.
