SPSS treats subcommands as part of the main command name.
* Compute a new variable (e.g., Body Mass Index). COMPUTE bmi = weight / (height * height). EXECUTE. * Recode a continuous variable into categories (e.g., Age into Age Groups). RECODE age (LOW THRU 18=1) (19 THRU 35=2) (36 THRU 50=3) (51 THRU HIGH=4) INTO age_group. EXECUTE. Use code with caution.
