Hi Thomas
Use the command VARSTOCASES to get all the ages into one variable.
I made you an example (see below). Ignore the warnings when the dataset is
created.
Hope this helps, Christian

Betreff: Display Values in different variables
Hi there!
I have a dataset, in which the age of the children of families are
values in different variables: it has been the result of my rather
complicated solution in mrInterview to offer to the respondents the
possibility to answer according to the number of their children.
Therefore AlterKind1 contains the age of the child in the case, the
family has just one child, AlterKind21 and AlterKind22 contain the age
of the two children in the case, a family has two children etc...
AlterKind1 AlterKind21 AlterKind22 AlterKind31 AlterKind32 AlterKind33
AlterKind41 AlterKind42 AlterKind43 AlterKind44
Now I'd like to display the frequencies of the ages (1 till 18) of all
children for all of the cases (y-axis number, x-axis age 1 to 18), but I
can't figure out how to do this with SPSS 16.0.
Thanks for your help.
Thomas
