Hi Siraj

You can use the aggregate command

COMPUTE dummy = 1 .
EXECUTE .
AGGREGATE
 /OUTFILE=*
 MODE=ADDVARIABLES
 /BREAK=dummy
 /XYZ = MAX(abc).

Hi Guys
I want to calculate a new variable (XYZ) based on the maximum value of
(ABC). e.g. if ABC has the maximum value 250 then XYZ has 250 for all
observations. Thanks and have a nice weekend.

Siraj
