Karen,
Suppose you select three cases with ID numbers 5, 8 and 10 where id is the variable name. Just type the following on the "Select Cases: If" dialog box:
id=5 & id=8 & id=10
In that command, an = sign was used followed by &. You can use symbols < , < or ~ depending on what you want.
Try also this sample syntax:
USE ALL.
COMPUTE filter_$=(id=5 & id=8 & id = 10).
VARIABLE LABEL filter_$ 'id=5 & id=8 & id = 10 (FILTER)'.
VALUE LABELS filter_$ 0 'Not Selected' 1 'Selected'.
FORMAT filter_$ (f1.0).
FILTER BY filter_$.
EXECUTE .
Cheers,
Johhny

Is there a way of selecting more than one case in a data set? I 100's of
cases. I am trying to select cases that have data. What I've tried so
far is (1) select cases, (2) If condition is satisfied/If..... (3) select
variable. After this, I would like to select several different id numbers
but I don't know what to use to seperate the numbers (assuming that you
can seperate the numbers). I've tried commas, semi-colons, and (+).
Thank you
