Question & Answer
Question
I have an SPSS Statistics data file where each record represents an event that occurred in our work place. There is a time variable called EVENT_TIME which records the time of day when each event occurred. EVENT_TIME is in hh.mm..ss format and ranges from 0:0:0 to 23:59:59. I wish to create a categorical variable which represents the 3 shifts in which the events occurred. Shift 1 is from midnight to 8 A.M.; shift 2, from 8 A.M to 4 P.M.; Shift 3 from 4. PM. to midnight. Exactly midnight will be considered Shift 3; exactly 8 A.M., shift 1; exactly 4 P.M., shift 2. How can I recode the EVENT_TIME variable into the 3 categories described above?
