Subject:      Break String Variable

Hi all,

I've searched at the files a clue that break a string variable at others
but I didn't find.
I have a variable as
X
1,2
1
2,3
1,3
And I want to split in 3 variables in order to calcule the multiple
response.
As I have a string variable I tried the INDEX command, but it didn't come
with the right results.
compute X_1 = index(X,'1').
compute X_2 = index(X,'2').
compute X_3 = index(X,'3').
exe.
I really don't know what I am doing wrong. Any help.
Thanks,
Ribeiro
