Hallo Uwe, family_seq is the object I defined when I read my SPSS data: family_seq <- read.spss (file="C:\\Documents\\blabla\\fam_seq.sav", use.value.labels=TRUE) I have the impression (which does'nt help) that something doesn't go right with importing the data. As I said, all my variables (including the ones listed in the seqdef command) are listed when I use the names command. Thanks for any further ideas. nomis -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > > > On 15.02.2010 02:29, nomis24 wrote: > > > > Hi there, > > I am new to R and feel so bloody stupid.
