It sounds like you need to check the options for RANK
in order to rank  /BY  var1   (or whatever the syntax is).

I have rows with cases and two variables, one multilevel variables coded 1-4. The other is transaction value. I want to bin the transaction values by percentile 50-75-90-95-above 95 for each level of variable 1. 

I tried to recode the using Select Cases to select only the level I wanted to recode but it recoded all cases. Can I do this with syntax more easily?
