David,

My apologies. I intended to be concise, not unclear. 

I would like to create a new variable to assign the variable names to cases where values are repeated across three variables. For example, value 999 appears in VAR1 and VAR2. I would assign this case VAR1, VAR2. 

I hope this is more clear. 

Peter
