Hi,

I have a dataset that has some 40 string variables and
20 numeric variables. I need to change the string
variable to numeric and some numeric to string. I know
I can go to each one of them and make the change. I
was just wondering if someone would tell me how I can
make these changes all at a time using syntax so I
don't have to manually do this whenever it is needed.
Many thanks. I use SPSS 9.0 on NT.


Xihu
