Let's assume you have variables X1, x2, x3, etc. and you wish to create
a new variable cond with values like 1, 2, 3, etc. then do one of these:
if( x1 = 1 or x2 = 3) cond = 1.
if( (x2 = 1 and x4=1) or x3 = 1) cond = 2.
etc
execute.
OR, do this:
do if( x1 = 1 or x2 = 3).
compute cond = 1.
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 t
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_A
