I would, however, like to do a variable transformation of the form (If VARX = 1 and VARY =1, then let NEWVAR = 1), i.e. a simple boolean expression. There are a number of ways this could be achived (for example you could use RECODE ... INTO ) but in my opinion, the simplest way is: COMPUTE newvar = (VARX = 1) AND (VARY=1).
I would have done this with with several If (var1 = 1 and var2 =1) newvar = 1. if (var1 = 1 and var2 =2) newvar = 2. etc. So I learned I guess an old trick, but I did not know it.
