Dear all, I am importing a .sav file (SPSS format) in SAS, and I am having some issues. SAS imports the file smoothly (i.e., no errors or warnings), but categorical variables in SPSS are all labelled NUM (numerical variables) in SAS. For instance, a variable INCOME that includes values such as: "less than $5,000" "$15,000-19,999" "$20,000-29,999" ... is shown as type = NUM. In fact, if I ask for a correlation (PROC CORR) between INCOME and another variable that contains only numbers, and it is clearly numerical, SAS computes it. But what is the meaning? How does SAS turn the values of INCOME into numbers? Is there a way to ask for that info? And additional issue is that if I use the values that SAS shows when I print a table with PROC FREQ for the variable INCOME (e.g. "than $5,000") to compute a third variable, SAS does not recognize the values of INCOME. Thanks for any advice you may have. Eman
