Hi Everyone!

I'm a student using SPSS Statistics for my research project and am currently using Version 29 on Mac. I tried running some analysis (Transform-> Recode into Different Variables) today, but upon clicking "Ok" after setting up all my variables, nothing shows up in my Output. I've tried Googling for solutions, but can't find any solutions. Any insights on how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the program but that did not help to fix the issue. I attached an image of what comes up whenever I run the dataset. 

Hi @Caressa Gentile 
Underlying almost every action in the IBM SPSS Statistics user interface is an IBM SPSS Statistics Command Syntax command.  In this case, it looks like you've built the RECODE command and then executed it to create the Q1_1 new variable in your Data Editor.  Does a Q1_1 field (column) now exist in your Data Editor window?  It will have been added to the rightmost column of your existing data.

RECODE is a transformation command, and thus produces no output in the Output Viewer window.  It merely manipulates the underlying dataset.  To produce tabular or graphical output you would need to run a procedure of some kind.
For more information, See the SPSS Statistics Command Syntax Reference Guide
