Subject: Conditional logic for a data range



Hello,



I am new with SPSS syntax scripting and I have a simple need but I can't
seem to land on the proper conditional logic.   I would like to specify a
data value range in a numeric variable for the selection of cases.  For
instance:



temp.

select if (Var1 is in the range of 10 to 100).

exe.



I understand I can specify the range with ((var1 ge 10) and (var1 le 100))
this seems unnecessarily cumbersome and I'm thinking there has to be a
simple one statement method.  Is there anything a bit more concise than what
I have above?



Thanks,



Jim
