This should work for you:

ANY(test,value[,value,...]) Logical. Returns 1 or true if the value of
test matches any of the subsequent values; returns 0 or false
otherwise. This function requires two or more arguments.

Is there a command in spss that allows you to do an OR check on values?
 In SQL, it s like



 If (variable IN (val1, val2,val3))



That s a lot easier than doing  if (var=val1 | var=val2 | var=val3)







Thanks!
