Syntax to Create X Cases

[Jim Moffitt]

I want to take an empty data editor and run some syntax that will create
a variable named ID that contains 500 consecutive integers (or 1000
consecutive integers or whatever other number I specify).
 
In other words, I want to create a specified number of cases in an
otherwise empty data editor.
 
How would I do that?
 
Thanks

input program.
loop #i=1 to 500.
compute id = #i.
end case.
end loop.
end file.
end input program.
execute.
