Hello!
When saving classmembership the output file contains only the usevariables, I would like to be able to export the class membership variable back into the original SPSS file for basic handling. How can I make the output contain the id-variable inorder to match the original file?

thanks in advance

See the IDVARIABLE option of the VARIABLE command.

Sorry for misspellings,it should read:

is there an option (in the synthax) so a digit/value (ex -999) replaces the star sign for the mssing values in the saved output?

thanks
Fred

When I use IDVARIABLE command as followed:

USEVARIABLES = rattkod aHAD_ang dHAD_ang EHAD_ang fHAD_ang;
IDVARIABLE = rattkod;


MISSING = ALL(-999);
CLASSES = c(4);
etc.
and "rattkod" being the variable with the id-kod in it, I get the following error message

*** ERROR
Invalid symbol in data file:
"1101" at record #: 1, field #: 1

Inspecting the data in the text file, I see that 1101 is my first id-value (first person first variable).
Why is the programm not being able to read it and what is ""?

See the MISSFLAG option of the SAVEDATA command.
