Syntax flagged incorrectly
Locked
 
|
I created a variable to describe the pattern of Program Evaluation Forms completed following administration of a Pretest (Bxx), Posttest (Nxx), and Follow-up (Fxx).
The following syntax works but the SPSS syntax checker flagged it as having an error.
The second closing paren was incorrectly flagged.
COMPUTE ProgEvals =
(MAX(0,B01,B02,B03,B04,B05)>0)*100 +
(MAX(0,N01,N02,N03,N04,N05)>0)*10 +
(MAX(0,F01,F02,F03,F04,F05)>0) .
So Pretest only would be coded 100 and complete data would be 111.

Let me restate the issue:
The following was interpreted as free of syntax errors:
COMPUTE ProgEvals =
(MAX(0,B01,B02,B03,B04,B05)>0)*100 +
(MAX(0,N01,N02,N03,N04,N05)>0)*10 +
(MAX(0,F01,F02,F03,F04,F05)>0) .
The following was interpreted incorrectly:
COMPUTE ProgEvals = (MAX(0,B01,B02,B03,B04,B05)>0)*100 +
(MAX(0,N01,N02,N03,N04,N05)>0)*10 +
(MAX(0,F01,F02,F03,F04,F05)>0) .

The second close parentheses was colored red. When I simply put the cursor after the equal sign in the second set and type "enter" the second close parentheses turns black. I could toggle the error on and off by hitting backspace, enter, backspace, enter, etc. Art Kendall On 6/24/2010 12:06 AM, Dennis Deck wrote: ===================== To manage your subscription to SPSSX-L, send a message to [hidden email] (not to SPSSX-L), with no body text except the command.
