Hey everyone,

I'm creating an attitude scale concerning support of Lesbians' and Gays' rights with three variable a b c, coded from 1 to 4, all in the same direction.
I'm using the command:
alpha a b c, item gen(LGtotal)
when i tab LGtotal, i obtain values like 1.66667 or 1.33333
I'd like to have only round number.
In another scale, I have coded 1=1 1.5=2 2=3 etc., so I've tried to do the same here, but it doesn't work and the values with more than one figure after the comma stays even though I mentioned them in the command:
recode LGtotal (1=1) (1.333333 1.5 1.666667=2) (2=3) (2.333333 2.5 2.666667=4) (3=5) (3.333333 3.666667 3.5=6) (4=7) (4.333333 4.5 4.666667=8) (5=9), gen (LGrights)


Do you have any idea, why this doesn't work / what I could do to obtain round number by creating my attitude scale?

Thanks a lot,
Juliette
