Abstract: strrec recodes string variables according to rules. Variables may either be recoded into numeric variables or into string variables. Any string in var that does not meet the conditions of rules is set to missing in created numeric variables and copied from var in created string variables. Value labels will be defined for numeric variables. strrec may also be used to recode numeric variables according to their value labels.
