Re: copying labels from an old variable to a new one.

[Frans Houweling]

Hi ftr,

  one way to achieve this would be like this (of course the new names are up to you):

> GET FILE = 'EVS
>           2017 short.sav'.
>           SAVE OUTFILE = 'temp.sav' /KEEP = country NUTS1 NUTS2
>             /RENAME = (country NUTS1 NUTS2 = nation regional regional2).
>           MATCH FILES FILE = * /FILE = 'temp.sav'.
>           EXECUTE.
>           ERASE FILE = 'temp.sav'.
      Hth, frans

Hi,

I try to create a new variable on the basis of another one and copy the value labels from one variable to the other. To my surprise, this does not work here.

GET FILE  ="EVS 2017 short.sav".
freq nuts1.
comp regional = nuts1.
freq regional.

Regional has not received the value labels of nuts1.

How can I achieve this by syntax ? I don't want to retype the labels of all 123 European regions which exist already in the data set.

Thanks in advance
