Thanks. But still I can't get it to work.
 
Here is an exact copy of my syntax:
 
 
*converting vector scores to Tscores
 
RECODE
  fvector
  (3.6=88)  (3.5=87)  (3.4=85)  (3.3=83)  (3.2=82)  (3.1=80)  (3=78)
  (2.9=77)  (2.8=75)  (2.7=73)  (2.6=72)  (2.5=70)  (2.4=69)  (2.3=67)
  (2.2=65)  (2.1=64)  (2=62)  (1.9=60)  (1.8=59)  (1.7=57)  (1.6=55)  (1.5=54)
   (1.4=52)  (1.3=50)  (1.2=49)  (1.1=47)  (1=46)  (.9=44)  (.8=42)  (.7=41)
  (.6=39)  (.5=37)  (.4=36)  (.3=34)  (.2=32)  (.1=31)  (0=29)  (3.7 thru
  8.2=90)  INTO  ftvector .
 
list var tvector ftvector.
 
VARIABLE LABELS ftvector 'female vector T score'.
EXECUTE.
 
I get a column of decimal points under my new variable -ftvector-.
