Subject:      Finding Minimum
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hi all,

I have 5 variables (columns  C1, C2, C3, C4, C5) and would like for each
respondent to find the minimum between the 5, and assign to a new variable
(CM1) the id number of the smallest of the five.

For example:

IF Min(C1, C2, C3, C4, C5) = C3

THEN

CM1 =3 .

any ideas how to program this in SPSS syntax?

Thanks a lot,
Yehuda
