cant find my variable in select cases

[jimjohn]

sorry guys i just have a stupid question. i just used transform -> create new variable and I created a couple of new variables. now i want to filter records based on the values of these variables. (for example, I only want to choose ones with a positive value). But, when I click on Select Cases, and then I go to the if condition, all the other variables I can see but for some reason, these last two variables I created don't appear there. any ideas how I can filter my data based on values of these nwe variables? thanks.

sorry plz ignore my msg, it works now. i guess i just have to save the file before those variables appear on the lefthand side?

If you used syntax, you will need to be sure you included an EXECUTE
command or the variables will not show in the data set.  However, if you
computed the new variables using the GUI, then you will need to save the
new data set before the items will show.
