Temporary & IF Statements

[zstatman]

Didn't this construct work at one time or another?

Temp.
Select If(ChapterMemberRecode = 2).
Compute loyalcx=5.
IF  ((q8br=1 or q8br=2) or (q10r=1 or q10r=2) or (q12r=1 or q12r=2))
loyalcx=4.
IF  ((q8br=1 or q8br=2 or q8br=3 or q8br=4) and ((q10r=3 or q10r=4) or
(q12r=3 or q12r=4 or q12r=5))) loyalcx=3.
IF  ((q8br=4 or q8br=5) and (q10r=4 or q10r=5) and (q12r=4 or q12r=5))
loyalcx=2.
IF  ((q8br=4 or q8br=5) and (q10r=5) and (q12r=5)) loyalcx=1.
EXECUTE .

I just ran it in V17 then reran to check in V15 (all patches, etc in both
versions) and for both it shows up in the viewer without error but doesn't
actually do anything, the new variable's data column is blank.

Opinions welcomed

I believe you want this to be a DO IF.
TEMPORARY only works on the next data pass and would not work with this kind of compute.

DO IF (ChapterMemberRecode = 2).
  Compute loyalcx=5.
  IF  ((q8br=1 or q8br=2) or (q10r=1 or q10r=2) or (q12r=1 or q12r=2)) loyalcx=4.
  IF  ((q8br=1 or q8br=2 or q8br=3 or q8br=4) and ((q10r=3 or q10r=4)
        or (q12r=3 or q12r=4 or q12r=5))) loyalcx=3.
  IF  ((q8br=4 or q8br=5) and (q10r=4 or q10r=5) and (q12r=4 or q12r=5)) loyalcx=2.
  IF  ((q8br=4 or q8br=5) and (q10r=5) and (q12r=5)) loyalcx=1.
END IF
