= SPSS Rename Variables =

The '''`RENAME VARIABLES`''' command renames variables.

<<TableOfContents>>

----



== Usage ==

{{{
rename variables (foo bar = bar foo).
rename variables (foo bar baz = ham spam eggs).
rename variables (foo = ham) (bar = spam) (baz = eggs).
rename variables (old1 to old5 = new1 to new5).
}}}

For the old variable names, case is ignored. For the new variable names, case is obeyed exactly.

This syntax is reused on `/RENAME` subcommands on many other commands.

----



== Data Model ==

The `RENAME VARIABLES` command executes immediately and all specified renames occur simulataneously. Pending transformations are ''not'' executed and the active dataset is ''not'' read.
