Hey Joseph,
Thanks for your help, but it is still not working:
Here is what I entered:
for each var of varlist q13brep q13crep q13drep
q13erep q13frep q13grep q13hrep q13irep q13jrep
q13krep q13lrep q13mrep (enter)
and I get an invalid syntax...
I have tried this:
local vars " q13brep q13crep q13drep q13erep q13frep
q13grep q13hrep q13irep q13jrep q13krep q13lrep
q13mrep"
foreach v of local var {
label values ???? replabel
}
and I can't seem to figure out what to put in ???? -
I've tried var, I've tried v, I've tried all of the
variables in quotes again?
Any advice?
Thanks,
Buddy
