The name of the new variable is rweightCH. I am not getting the line you prescribed. Just this error message:

>Warning # 3211
>On at least one case, the value of the weight variable was zero, negative, or
>missing. Such cases are invisible to statistical procedures and graphs which
>need positively weighted cases, but remain on the file and are processed by

When I run a frequency table I get the numbers below. As you can see, there are no missings.

Statistics
rweightCH
N Valid 8395
Missing 0

Anything else you can think of that might cause this error?

Thanks!
