string - SPSS REPEAT: How do i use the stand-in-variable as part of variable name? -

-

i'm using spss 20. in dataset list of string variables want recoded numeric. wanted them recoded themselves. realize not possible spss runs through dataset casewise , 1 variable can have 1 type @ time. want them recoded new variables suffix _rec. 

do repeat var = var_1 var_2 ... var_n.   recode var (convert) var_rec. end repeat.

but creates 1 new variable var_rec not several new ones.

i tried programme workaround: 

compute job_2 string job(a20)     repeat var = var_1 var_2 ... var_n. compute var = job.  recode job (convert) job_2. delete variables var. compute var = job_2.   end repeat.

but doesn't work because delete variables can not used within do repeat loop.

so i'm @ original question.

you (string variables) can't recoded can using alter type

alter type var_1 var_2 var_3 (f8.2).

where f8.2 numeric variable of width 8 , 2 decimal points.

you can use do repeat multiple stand-in list of variables, following:

do repeat old = var_1 var_2 var_3     /new = var1_rec var2_rec var3_rec.   recode old (convert) new. end repeat print.

which expanded out equivalent to:

recode var_1 (convert) var1_rec. recode var_2 (convert) var2_rec. recode var_3 (convert) var3_rec.

but if going can within recode command directly, this:

recode var_1 var_2 var_3 (convert) var1_rec var2_rec var3_rec.

both methods assume original variables string variables (of , differing widths).

take note of convert function does, namely, taking string variable (containing numeric values stored string) , converting numeric format variable. input variable string , output numeric.

i have data grid rows represent theta (0, pi) , columns represent phi (0, 2*pi) , f(theta,phi) density of dark matter @ location. wanted calculate power spectrum , have decided use healpy. what can not understand how format data healpy use. if provide code (in python obvious reasons) or point me tutorial, great! have tried hand @ doing following code: #grid dimensions nrows*ncols (subject change) theta = np.linspace(0, np.pi, num=grid.shape[0])[:, none] phi = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, num=grid.shape[1]) nside = 512 print "pixel area: %.2f square degrees" % hp.nside2pixarea(nside, degrees=true) pix = hp.ang2pix(nside, theta, phi) healpix_map = np.zeros(hp.nside2npix(nside), dtype=np.double) healpix_map[pix] = grid but, when try execute code power spectrum. specifically, : cl = hp.anafast(healpix_map[pix], lmax=1024) i error: typeerror: bad number of pixels if point me tutorial or edit code great. more specifications: data in 2d np array , can change numrows/...
