The new variable(s) is inserted before the highlighted column and added with a default variable name (for example, VAR00104) and populated with system-missing values for all records for the new variable. If non-contiguous variables are selected, Insert Variables will insert the number of variables specified to the left of the first highlighted variable. You are prompted to enter:
