Subject:      Restructuring Cases into Variables
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi all.  Really need help here.  My data set is structured like this:

coder   rating
1           ##
1           ##
1           ##
2           ##
2           ##
2           ##

I need the data file to be structured like this:

coder 1   coder 2
##           ##
##           ##
##           ##

I have tried restructuring using Cases to Variables, but I get the following
error:
"The INDEX values for case 2 have occurred before in the cases with the same
ID values."

I assume the error is because some of the lines are duplicates (both coder
gives many ratings to each of a large number of people).  Here is the syntax
I am using:

SORT CASES BY coder rating.
CASESTOVARS
  /ID=rating
  /INDEX=coder
  /GROUPBY=INDEX.

I would really appreciate your help.  Thanks so much!
