[COPY AND PASTE SYNTAX IN THE BOX BELOW INTO A SPSS SYNTAX WINDOW] then below the patsed syntax type MKAPPASC VARS=varlist. where varlist is the list of variables containing the ratings for each rater. So. for example, MKAPPASC VARS=r1 r2 r3. evaluates the kappa for the three raters whose ratings per case are contained in columns called r1 r2 r3. The macro first saves your working data file to a file named ka_tmp1.sav. The macro creates two new files, ka_tmp1.sav and ka_tmp2.sav, which contain respectively your original data, and a file used to store the values printed in the reported output. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE NO EXISTING FILES CALLED KA_TMP1.SAV OR KA_TMP2.SAV AS THESE WILL BE OVERWRITTEN. Multiple invocations of the macro in the same interactive session will produce the following note: >The macro name specified on the DEFINE command duplicates the name of a previously defined macro. This instance will take precedence. This warning does not indicate a problem and may be ignored.
