hi
have a numeric variable which contains data of length 3,4,5,6 where the
last to digits are the year
eg 168 would be patient number 1 and year 68
11168 would be patient number 111 and year 68
I would like to create two variable
1. containing the year
2. containing the patient number
i know this is possible in spss - can anyone advise how this can be achieved
regards
ann
