Hi listers, how are you?



I have a real problem this Monday (fucks Mondays ;).

I should to do many visual recode. Do you know some script or spss code to
do this?



The code should to do something like this.



-          Calculate percentiles of one variable "Var1".

-          Create a new variable "Var1rec" where the first value is the
range (0 to P20), the second (P20 to P40).





I try the code below but I don't know how to pass the percentiles' values to
the second instruction.



CTABLES

  /VLABELS VARIABLES=var1  DISPLAY=DEFAULT

  /TABLE var1  [PTILE 20, PTILE 40, PTILE 60,  PTILE 80,  PTILE 99].



RECODE var1

     ( LO THRU PTILE 20=1 )

     ( LO THRU PTILE 40=2 )

     ( LO THRU PTILE 60=3 )

     ( LO THRU PTILE 80=4 )

     ( LO THRU PTILE 99=5 ) INTO var1rec.







Thank you
