RECODE q1 (8=SYSMIS) (9=SYSMIS) . EXECUTE . The below syntax is for recoding into NEW variable. RECODE q1 (8=SYSMIS) (9=SYSMIS) INTO new_q1 . EXECUTE . Instead of q1 you should use your variable name. Also let me know incase of clarification required Thanks, Lawrence Mail: lawrence_slj@yahoo.com Mobile: +91-9945893701 Hi Debra,

The below syntax is for recoding into SAME variable.

RECODE
q1 (8=SYSMIS) (9=SYSMIS) .
EXECUTE .

The below syntax is for recoding into NEW variable.

RECODE
q1 (8=SYSMIS) (9=SYSMIS) INTO new_q1 .
EXECUTE .

Instead of q1 you should use your variable name.

Also let me know incase of clarification required

Thanks,
Lawrence

I want to do that before I turn several categories into one index. Thank you. How does one recode (write a recode statement) to drop the values of 8 and 9 from particular questions in a data set.

It would be good if you could add some tips on efficient multiple recodes - often used with say Likert coded responses to questions where you want to reduce the range. There's a paste function which seems somehow to reproduce the recode instructions but the OK button to finish it is greyed out. The Help file is no help. (SPSS V14) Thanks Lawrence.
