Warning # 3211

[Julie-49]

We are getting Warning # 3211
>On at least one case, the value of the weight variable was zero, negative,
or
>missing.  Such cases are invisible to statistical procedures and graphs
which
>need positively weighted cases, but remain on the file and are processed by
>non-statistical facilities such as LIST and SAVE.

Is there a way to code the data so this warning does not show up or how
exactly do we deal with this and is it a problem to be concerned about?


Thank You,
Julie

You could use a filter:
COMPUTE myFilter = (myWeight <= 0).
FILTER by myFilter.

I think that may be the exact opposite of what you want, since that will filter out all the positive values, leaving only the cases with 0 or negative weight values available for analysis. I would change
(myWeight <= 0) to (myWeight > 0).
