Peter,
Unless I'm misunderstanding you, this should suffice...
IF (VAR1 = 16 OR VAR2 = 16 OR VAR3 = 16) NEWVAR = 1.
RECODE NEWVAR (1=1) (ELSE=0).

|
|The solution offered by Jim Marks to James Moffitt recently should
have
|enabled me to solve this, but I have not be able. So....
|
|If any of three existing vars has the value of 16, I would like to
|create a new var that would have value of "1" if 16 was present in
any
|one of the three, or "0" if absent.
|
|Thanks in advance.
