The Sort Cases command has a limit of 64 sort variables in a single pass.
You should be able to use multiple Sort Cases commands to get around that
limit.

Subject: Extending the "Identify Duplicate Cases..." Procedure
Beyond 64 Variables
Sent by: "SPSSX(r) Discussion" <SPSSX-L@listserv.uga.edu>
Dear SPSS Experts,
I would greatly appreciate seeing any syntax for extending the Identify
Duplicate Cases procedure beyond its current limit of 64 variables. I have
pasted the syntax developed through the SPSS drop down menu and tried to
add
a variable, but I see that the procedure is stopped by any attempt to sort
on more than 64 keys. Thus, I welcome any syntax that anyone has developed
to identify duplicate cases for more than 64 variables.
I would prefer SPSS syntax as the solution. However, I should note that I
have the Python extension installed; consequently, even though I do not
know
how one programs in Python, I suspect that, with appropriate guidance, I
could install a Python program if Python script is the answer to my
problem.
I welcome your feedback on this matter.
Thank you in advance.
