Presumably if you have a list of variables in one column, say A, you could add in a formula to another column, eg ="COMPUTE " & A1 & "=-1." Which you could use to create a block of syntax to create the variables that way, and then in spss add in a recode for -1 to sysmis. It would be a way round your current problem. Fred
“The first step to doing an analysis in SPSS is having your variables set up properly. We are going to begin with a blank dataset, create five variables, and then learn how to set up numeric variables. You will learn about naming variables, variable labels, and coding values for categorical variables.
