I'm not sure what motivates you to look for a more elegant solution--this is
shorter, and produces the same results.
COMPUTE filter_$$=(F_INSTID = 9 & F_XQMODE01 = 1 AND NOT(ANY(F_XJACS201, 1,
2, 7))).

Subject: simple question
Sorry to bother you with a simple question - I used to be able to do
this more elegantly but cannot find my relevant syntax file
what I want to do is select a number of categories of a numeric variable
along with two other select if statements
this works, but I think it could be neater
USE ALL.
COMPUTE filter_$=(F_INSTID = 9 & F_XQMODE01 = 1 & F_XJACS201 ~= (1 ) &
F_XJACS201 ~= (2) & F_XJACS201 ~= (7)).
VARIABLE LABEL filter_$ 'F_INSTID = 9 & F_XQMODE01 = 1 & F_XJACS201 ~=
(1 ) & F_XJACS201 ~= (2) & F_XJACS201 ~= (7) (FILTER)'.
VALUE LABELS filter_$ 0 'Not Selected' 1 'Selected'.
FORMAT filter_$ (f1.0).
FILTER BY filter_$.
EXECUTE .
thanks in advance
Muir
