Thanks, it runs.
And if I have many contiguos variable with the same structure?

i.e.
Do you like citizens of...
d1.1    USA             (yes, no, don't know)
d1.2    Great Britain   (yes, no, don't know)
d1.3    France          (yes, no, don't know)
...

I have a file like this:

d1.1.1 d1.1.2 d1.1.3 d1.2.1 d1.2.2 d1.2.3 d1.3.1 d1.3.2 d1.3.3 etc.
1      0      0      0      1      0      0      1      0
1      0      0      1      0      0      0      0      1
0      1      0      0      0      1      1      0      0
...

Thanks,
Arnaldo.
