Using String Variables in Recode Syntax
 
|
Hello Everyone, I am computing a segment variable consisting of two segments. The code is as follows… Compute segment=0. If (cell=1 or cell=2 or cell=3 or cell=4 or cell=5 or cell=6 or cell=7 or cell=8 or cell=9 or cell=10 or cell=11 or cell=12 or cell=13 or cell=14 or cell=15 or cell=16 or cell=17 or cell=18 or cell=19 or cell=20) and (segmentm=mc or segmentm=md) and segmentp=p3 and segmentc=cy segment=1. If (cell=21 or cell=22 or cell=23 or cell=24) and (segmentm=me or segmentm=mg) and (segmentp=p1 or segmentp=p2) segment=2. The problem I’m running into is that SPSS won’t let me use string variables for this. Is there any way I can carry out this syntax with the string variables or a workaround for using string variables that anyone may know? Thank you in advance for all of your help, Colin Colin M.

Put quotes around the string values: If (cell=21 or cell=22 or cell=23 or cell=24) and (segmentm=”me” or segmentm=”mg”) and (segmentp=”p1”
or segmentp=”p2”) segment=2. Matthew J Poes Research Data Specialist Center for Prevention Research and Development University of Illinois From: SPSSX(r) Discussion [mailto:[hidden email]]

*=================.... if range(cell, 1, 20) and any(segmentm, 'mc', 'md') and

COMPUTE segment=0. IF RANGE(cell, 1,20) AND ANY(segmentm,"mc",md") AND (segmentp EQ "p3") AND (segmentc EQ"cy") segment=1. IF RANGE (cell,21,24) AND ANY(segmentm,"me","mg") AND ANY(segmentp,"p1", "p2s") segment=2.
Please reply to the list and not to my personal email.
