I've been struggling with creating a nominal (5-category) X variable in a MONTECARLO simulation.

I did figure out I could generate dummy codes and manipulate them with a DEFINE in a second run to make them mutually exclusive, but I could not work out to make them so in the data generation step.

Any tips?

Thanks.

You can generate a nominal dependent variable using the GENERATE option. There is no straightforward way to generate nominal independent variables.
