Subject:      Searching for Ties Across Variables, Not Cases
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

When searching for ties across variables (for single records) is there an
easier way to do the procedure?  The following is what I wrote, but I cannot
think of a good way to modularize it or make it easier.

COMPUTE tie1 = ANY(t18ai2, t18ai3, t18ai10).
COMPUTE tie2 = ANY(t18ai3, t18ai2, t18ai10).
COMPUTE tie3 = ANY(t18ai10, t18ai2, t18ai3).

COMPUTE tie4 = ANY(t20ac2, t20ap1, t20at1, t20as4, t20anew1).
COMPUTE tie5 = ANY(t20ap1, t20ac2, t20at1, t20as4, t20anew1).
COMPUTE tie6 = ANY(t20at1, t20ac2, t20ap1, t20as4, t20anew1).
COMPUTE tie7 = ANY(t20as4, t20ac2, t20ap1, t20at1, t20anew1).
COMPUTE tie8 = ANY(t20anew1, t20ac2, t20ap1, t20at1, t20as4).

EXECUTE.

Thanks in advance.
