you always want to test for differences at baseline, particularly with small sample sizes. never assume that a small random selection gives you equivalent samples. in fact, you might even want to add the baseline variance to the after treatment variance for your significance testing. ------------ ...

an alternative to jon's suggestion would to use: compute score = var1 + var2 +var3. or better yet: compute score =sum.3(var1 to var3) in both cases, the result will be set to missing if any of the values are missing for var1 to var3. ------------------------------ Eugenio Gonzalez - ...

in general, you would be better off using "recode... into" instead of simply "recode". if you need to keep the original variable name(s), you could then save the file with the recoded variable(s) under a new name, or you could rename the original variables before doing the recode. but in general, it ...
