Statscraft 0.7.0, release v0.7.0

FLIP

Transpose the data: variables become cases and cases become variables.

Syntax

FLIP [VARIABLES=ALL | varlist] [/NEWNAMES=var].
Each variable becomes a case, named in the new string variable CASE_LBL; each case becomes a
numeric variable (F8.2), named VAR001, VAR002, ... or by the values of NEWNAMES (the values
of CASE_LBL after an earlier FLIP). Names are upper case; a number gets K_ in front, as does a
name that does not start with a letter; other characters a name cannot hold become _, and a
repeated name gets _A, _B, ...; a missing or blank value keeps the default name. String
values and user-missing values become system-missing. Every case is transposed whatever
FILTER says. Labels, value labels, the weight, the split and the filter are gone.
Transformations before FLIP become permanent: TEMPORARY ends. A table lists the new names.

Example

FLIP VARIABLES=income price year /NEWNAMES=country.
