string into numeric & copy of variable label
Locked
 
|
I have to convert a large number of string variables coded Y and N into
numeric variables which I do with : recode v151 v152 v153 v153b1 ('Y'=1)('N'=0) (else=-9) into n151 n152 n153 n153b1. But how can I also copy the variable label from v151 to n151 using syntax ?

Try AUTORECODE.

That would work, but would code 1=NO and 2=YES (alphabetical).
If you then recoded, you'd still need to reset the value labels. Value labels n151 n152 n153 n153b1 1 'Yes' 0 'No'.

Although I haven't tried it, I suspect you could create and modify an Autorecode template to give you precisely what you want.

Thank you all for the hint to look at Autorecode.
This was exactly what I searched. - Frank Thomas Oliver, Richard wrote: > Although I haven't tried it, I suspect you could create and modify an Autorecode template to give you precisely what you want. > > -----Original Message----- > From: SPSSX(r) Discussion [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Melissa Ives > Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 11:59 AM > To: [hidden email] > Subject: Re: string into numeric & copy of variable label > > That would work, but would code 1=NO and 2=YES (alphabetical). > If you then recoded, you'd still need to reset the value labels. > > Value labels n151 n152 n153 n153b1 1 'Yes' 0 'No'. > > Melissa > > -----Original Message----- > From: SPSSX(r) Discussion [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Oliver, Richard > Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 11:51 AM > To: [hidden email] > Subject: Re: [SPSSX-L] string into numeric & copy of variable label > > Try AUTORECODE. > > -----Original Message----- > From: SPSSX(r) Discussion [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Frank Thomas > Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 11:31 AM > To: [hidden email] > Subject: string into numeric & copy of variable label > > I have to convert a large number of string variables coded Y and N into numeric variables which I do with : > recode v151 v152 v153 v153b1 ('Y'=1)('N'=0) (else=-9) into n151 n152 > n153 n153b1. > But how can I also copy the variable label from v151 to n151 using syntax ? > > Thanks > F.
