I had to edit to put in carriage returns to get a readable version of this. I don't see the problem.

But you can simplify the logic if you subtract 1999 from the year, and then add 1 if the month is 4 or more. Set to missing if not (1-8)

Using the following code in SPSS 11 and get the following error:

>Error # 4095. Command name: EXECUTE

Am I missing something at the bottom?

Do if reldate >= date.mdy(4,1,1999) and reldate <= date.mdy(3,31,2000).

comp fy=1.

ELSE if reldate >= date.mdy(4,1,2000) and reldate <= date.mdy(3,31,2001). comp fy=2.

ELSE if reldate >= date.mdy(4,1,2001) and reldate <= date.mdy(3,31,2002). comp fy=3.

END IF.
