And if John's explanation is insufficient, please explain what you
are trying to do. A recode statement (if your conditions depend on
values of one variable) or compute statements in IF or DO IF blocks
(otherwise) may be necessary to accomplish what you want.

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.
Betsy
