This one really does not need an Expert level, Ralf :-)

RECODE a1 to a10  (CONVERT) into b1 to b10 .

....of course both lists containing the same number of variables.

Have a nice weekend

Dear Experts,

How can one change the format from string to numeric FOR MANY VARIABLES
AT ONCE?
For ONLY ONE var the command would be:
RECODE var_a (CONVERT) into var_b.

Thanks in advance!

Ralf
