Re: modify vars

[Ben Pfaff]

MODIFY VARS was removed in version 2.0.0 because it is not part of
SPSS. The manual you are looking at must be for an older version of
PSPP.

You can use ADD FILES to reorder variables:
https://www.spss-tutorials.com/spss-reorder-variables-with-syntax/. (I
haven't tried this, but it should work. If it doesn't, please let me
know.)
