That would work, but would code 1=NO and 2=YES (alphabetical).
If you then recoded, you'd still need to reset the value labels.
Value labels n151 n152 n153 n153b1 1 'Yes' 0 'No'.

Try AUTORECODE.

Subject: string into numeric & copy of variable label
I have to convert a large number of string variables coded Y and N into numeric variables which I do with :
recode v151 v152 v153 v153b1 ('Y'=1)('N'=0) (else=-9) into n151 n152
n153 n153b1.
But how can I also copy the variable label from v151 to n151 using syntax ?
Thanks
F. Thomas
