Another way to do it:
DATA LIST LIST
/VARA.
BEGIN DATA
1
1
1
1
2
2
2
2
3
3
3
END DATA.
SORT CASES BY vara (A).
COMPUTE caso = $CASENUM.
RANK VARIABLES=caso (A) BY vara
/RANK INTO varb
/PRINT=YES
/TIES=MEAN .
MATCH FILES
/FILE = *
/DROP caso.
EXECUTE.

This does it.

data list list /vara varb.
begin data
1 1
1 2
1 3
1 4
2 1
2 2
2 3
2 4
3 1
3 2
3 3
end data.
sort cases by vara.
compute varc = 1.
if vara = lag(vara) varc = lag(varc) + 1.
list.

Subject: Recode Varible
Hi listers,
Does anybody knows how do I recode a variable (A) to a different variable
(B), doing the following procedure:
Variable A Variable B
1 1
1 2
1 3
1 4
2 1
2 2
2 3
2 4
3 1
3 2
3 3
I mean, I want to create a sequence of the variable B according to
variable
A. I will probably have to use a syntax procedure, right?
Is it possible to create a new variable by a syntax procedure, when I
already have the database.
Thanks in advance,
M½rcio Ribeiro
