There is no "LOOKUP" function in SPSS. Perhaps you are referring to the a
lookup table using MATCH FILES?

There is a lookup function in programmability, in the extendedTransforms module.  Is that what you want?

I am having some difficulty interpreting the output for cox regression. 
 
the following is an example from the output.  We are looking at adolescent drug use and crime.  the output for substance abuse is
 
Substance abuse  (b) .96       (se) .08       (exp(b)) 2.50
 
Some seem to interpret this as substance abusers are 2.5 times more likely to commit a crime.  Others seem to interpret this as the hazard (or risk?) of crime increases by 2.5.  Are both of these correct?

"The Exp(B) column presents the estimated change in risk (hazard) associated
with a one-unit change in a predictor, controlling for other predictors.
Exp(B) is also called the hazard ratio, since it represents the ratio of the
hazards for two individuals who differ by one unit in the predictor of
interest."

Does that help?
