Statscraft 0.7.0, release v0.7.0

VARSTOCASES

Turn groups of variables into cases: one new case per variable of the group.

Syntax

VARSTOCASES /MAKE new ['label'] [FROM] varlist [/MAKE ...]
            [/INDEX=i ['label'] | i ['label'] (make) | i ['label'] (n) j ['label'] (n) ...]
            [/ID=new ['label']] [/NULL=DROP | KEEP] [/COUNT=new ['label']]
            [/KEEP=ALL | varlist | /DROP=varlist].
Every case becomes one case per variable of the FROM lists, in their order; FROM lists
have equal lengths and one type each. A MAKE variable takes the dictionary of its first
FROM variable (strings their widest width), the label given replacing the label. The other
variables are copied to every new case (KEEP: only those, in that order). INDEX numbers the
new cases 1, 2, ...; with (make) it holds the names of that MAKE's FROM variables; with (n)
several factors whose levels multiply to the length of the lists, the last varying fastest.
ID is the case number of the original case (F8.0), COUNT the number of new cases it gave
(F4.0). NULL=DROP (the default) leaves out a new case whose MAKE values are all
system-missing or blank. Order of the new file: ID, the copied variables, COUNT, INDEX,
MAKE; ID and INDEX are nominal, COUNT scale. All cases are used whatever FILTER says;
WEIGHT, SPLIT FILE and FILTER stay unless their variables are gone. Not after TEMPORARY.

Example

VARSTOCASES /MAKE score 'Score' FROM score1 TO score4 /INDEX=wave /ID=person.
