Subject:      Error with Casestovars command
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Dear all

I have problem with the CASESTOVARS command.
When I use the command for a file that happens to have only one case I get
an error when I subsequently want to compute a new variable (see syntax
below). I know this is a rare case, but since I create the data file
dynamically, I do not know beforehand if only one or more cases are
available. Has anybody found a solution for this problem.

DATA LIST /ID 2 TIME 5-11 (A) SCORE 13-14.
begin data.
 1  before  73
end data.

LIST.

SORT CASES BY ID TIME .
CASESTOVARS
 /ID = ID
 /INDEX = TIME
 /GROUPBY = VARIABLE.

Compute dummy = 1.
Exec.

Thanks in advance, Christian
