variable construction

[P.van Groenestijn]

Dear List Members,

I wonder how to make a new variables with the sum as long as previous
variables have a score 1.
To make things clear I give an example.

data list free / text(a5) v1 v2 v3 v4 v5. res1 res2 res3 res4 res5
begin data
00-11 0 0 . 1 1 0 0 0 1 2
100-1 1 0 0 . 1 1 0 0 0 1
11--0 1 1 . . 0 1 2 0 0 1
end data.

In this file the original string variable (text) is already converted
into five nummeric variables (v1 to v5).
I would like to make the result variables (res1 to res5) with some syntax.
How can I do this?

Any help will be highly appreciated!

Regards,
Pieter van Groenestijn

I think you need something like:

 

count

   vcount = v1 to v5 (1)

  /rescount = res1 to res 5 (1) .

freq vcount rescount .

Dear Pieter,
 
I think the following syntax should work. I called the new variables t1-t5 (so I could compare them to res1-res5).
 
data list free / text(a5) v1 v2 v3 v4 v5 res1 res2 res3 res4 res5.
begin data
00-11 0 0 '' 1 1 0 0 0 1 2
100-1 1 0 0 '' 1 1 0 0 0 1
11--0 1 1 '' '' 0 1 2 0 0 1
end data.
 
vector v=v1 to v5/t(5).
compute t(1)=v(1).
loop #i=2 to 5.
do if v(#i)=0 or mis(v(#i))=1.
compute t(#i)=0.
else.
compute t(#i)=v(#i)+t(#i-1).
end if.
end loop.
 
execute.
