Well, as to that: there are 2**7=128 possible combinations of seven
dichotomous variables.

I'm not sure what you want, here. If you already have information on
your respondents, what do you have, and how do you want it converted to
7 dichotomous variables?

I was going to cite my post on this subject ("Re: syntax for creating
new var", Wed, 21 Sep 2005 17:31:23 -0400), but I see that was in
response to a question you asked.

If that didn't get you where you wanted to go, can you say what you'd
like, different?

And good luck to you,
