Put quotes around the string values:
If (cell=21 or cell=22 or cell=23 or cell=24) and (segmentm="me" or
segmentm="mg") and (segmentp="p1" or segmentp="p2") segment=2.

Subject: Using String Variables in Recode Syntax
Hello Everyone,
I am computing a segment variable consisting of two segments. The code is as
follows.
Compute segment=0.
If (cell=1 or cell=2 or cell=3 or cell=4 or cell=5 or cell=6 or cell=7 or
cell=8 or cell=9 or cell=10 or cell=11 or cell=12 or cell=13 or cell=14 or
cell=15 or cell=16 or cell=17 or cell=18 or cell=19 or cell=20) and
(segmentm=mc or segmentm=md) and segmentp=p3 and segmentc=cy segment=1.
If (cell=21 or cell=22 or cell=23 or cell=24) and (segmentm=me or
segmentm=mg) and (segmentp=p1 or segmentp=p2) segment=2.
The problem I'm running into is that SPSS won't let me use string variables
for this. Is there any way I can carry out this syntax with the string
variables or a workaround for using string variables that anyone may know?
Thank you in advance for all of your help,
Colin
