Dear list members,

I have got another problem. I imported an SPSS file with the Memisc package
using the following commands:

mz <- spss.system.file("myspssfile.sav")

mz <- subset(mz,select=c(
 bsex,balt,xurb,dtaet,kartab,bgeb,boseit,bgeblan,xnuts2,kausb,xerwstat,
 asbper,asbhh,ajahr,aquartal,bstaat,xwieoft,gew1,apkz,bpkzm,bpkzv))

Afterwards I checked the measurements of the variables and they are all
right for most of them (e.g. the variable containing the sex of a person is
"nominal" and the variable containing the year is "interval"). For two of
the variables the measurement is not o.k, though. They exclusively contain
numbers in the SPSS file (e.g. the age of a person) - and no NAs - but have
got the measurement "nominal"!

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thank you very much for your help in advance!

Marion
