** Question.
**************************************************.
I'm having a terrible headache with the following macro.
--------------- Start -------------------------
define !compint (!pos !tokens(1)
/!pos !tokens(1)).
compute nobreak = 1.
exec.
aggregate outfile ='c:\\windows\\temp\\SPSS_002.tmp'
/break= nobreak
/minv1 = min(!1)
/maxv1 = max(!1)
/minv2 = min(!2)
/maxv2 = max(!2).
match files /file=* /table= 'c:\\windows\\temp\\SPSS_002.tmp'
/by= nobreak.
do if ($casenum=1).
write outfile= 'c:\\windows\\temp\\minmax.sps'
/'define min1() ' minv1 ' !enddefine.'
/'define max1() ' maxv1 ' !enddefine.'
/'define min2() ' minv2 ' !enddefine.'
/'define max2() ' maxv2 ' !enddefine.'.
end if.
execute.
include file='c:\\windows\\temp\\minmax.sps'.
!do !i = min1 !to max1.
!do !j = min2 !to max2.
!let !varnam = !concat(i,!1,!2,!i,!j).
numeric !varnam (f1).
!let !lab = !quote(!concat(!1, ' cat-',!i,' & ',!2,' cat-',!j)).
variable label !varnam !lab.
!doend.
exec.
!doend.
match files /file=* /drop= nobreak minv1 minv2 maxv1 maxv2.
exec.
!enddefine.
data list free / x z.
begin data
1 2
1 3
1 1
2 3
2 3
2 1
1 2
end data.
!compint x z.
---------------- end macro/syntaxis -----------------------------------
The above macro try to create new variables with the combination of all
pairs of categories for the variables X and Z.
The result should be (new variables):
ixz11 ixz12 ixz13 ixz21 ixz22 ixz23
But when I run the macro, an error appears (Error # 1. Command name:
!ERROR_MACRO ...)
What I'm doing wrong ?

** Solution posted to SPSSX-L on 2001/09/26 by Ray.
**************************************************.
It is always tricky to 1)write a macro, 2)include it and 3)use it, all in
the SAME macro.
* Splitting the job in 2 macros and using !EVAL when referring to the
dynamically defined macros solved the problem.
* Here is the revised syntax.
SET MPRINT=no.
*////////////////////.
define !compint (!pos !tokens(1)
/!pos !tokens(1))
compute nobreak = 1.
aggregate outfile ='c:\\temp\\SPSS_002.tmp'
/break= nobreak
/minv1 = min(!1)
/maxv1 = max(!1)
/minv2 = min(!2)
/maxv2 = max(!2).
match files /file=* /table= 'c:\\temp\\SPSS_002.tmp'
/by= nobreak.
do if ($casenum=1).
write outfile= 'c:\\temp\\minmax.sps'
/'define min1() ' minv1 ' !enddefine.'
/'define max1() ' maxv1 ' !enddefine.'
/'define min2() ' minv2 ' !enddefine.'
/'define max2() ' maxv2 ' !enddefine.'.
end if.
execute.
include file='c:\\temp\\minmax.sps'.
EXECUTE.
!compin2 !1 !2.
!enddefine.
*////////////////////.
*////////////////////.
define !compin2(!pos=!tokens(1) /!pos=!tokens(1))
!do !i = !EVAL(min1) !to !EVAL(max1)
!do !j = !EVAL(min2) !to !EVAL(max2)
!let !varnam = !concat(i,!1,!2,!i,!j)
numeric !varnam (f1).
!let !lab = !quote(!concat(!1, ' cat-',!i,' & ',!2,' cat-',!j))
variable label !varnam !lab.
!doend.
exec.
