Specifying how data are to be recoded

You will need to choose how this is done.

 

First, use CODES= to specify the response codes in your data file.

 

If there is only one type of recoding to be done, use

NEWSCORE=

 

If this one type of rescoring only applies to some of the items, also use

RESCORE=

 

If the rescoring is more complex, use

IREFER= and IVALUE=

 

If the items are multiple-choice, use

KEYn=

 

If missing values are not to be ignored, i.e., treated as not-administered, you will need

MISSCORE=

 

If alphabetical codes are used to express two-digit numbers in one column, use

ALPHANUM=
