creating a variable

[E. Bernardo]

Hi all,

  A variable W is created based on the values of the other three variable X, Y and Z.  For example, W=1 if X=0, Y=1 and Z=1.  How to do this in spss?

  Thanks.

Hi Eins

Use the following syntax.

IF (X=0 & Y=1 & Z=1) W = 1 .
EXECUTE .

Hi Eins,

compute w = 999.
if (x = 0 and y = 1 and z = 1) w = 1.
... etc etc.
If all combinations have been defined, w = 999 should not occur. Be careful when x, y or z have system missing values.

Cheers!!
