Troubleshooting
Problem
How can I recode date intervals into a categorical variable? I have a very large data set with cases entered based on admission dates. These dates are all entered in an SPSS date variable which is called INDATE and formatted as dd.mm.yy. I want to code people according to their admission date (e.g 1 = admission between 11/1/92 and 10/31/93; 2= admission between 11/1/93 and 10/31/94; 3 = admission between 11/1/94 and 0/31/95....until 1997) such that I will be able to generate frequencies for each group and test mean differences between the groups on a number of key variables.
