Re: Create new variables from others (If Condistional or recode)

[John Darrington]

In PSPP, the simplest way to create a new variable, and assign values
to it derived from existing variables is using the COMPUTE command.
For example if you have existing variables v1, v2 and v3, you could
create a new variable as follows:

compute newVar = v1 or v2 or v3.

(don't forget the . at the end)

     Hi everyone:
     I'm a recent user of PSPP and i'm trying to create a new variable from
     three other variables using a conditional. In Excel i would use IF and OR
     functions but i don't know what should i used in pspp sintaxys:
     
     The idea is to create a new variable as follows:
     
     
     NEW Variable "Condicion_Actividad"
     Existing variables
     Cod.1= Var5=1 or Var6=1 or Var7=1
     Cod.2= Var8=1
     Cod.3= Var8=2
     
     Thanks in advance.
