Figure 2.13 Extensions to generating new variables with the variable trt entered, Sequences
(integer) selected, and the variable type, Integer.

Remember, as mentioned before with some commands, only part of
the name needs to be typed. In this case, typing g is sufficient. The
runiform() function generates a uniformly distributed set of ran-
dom numbers on the interval 0-1. At any point in this process, you
can select the Data Editor button at the top of the Main window
or type edit in the Command window to see how the dataset is
changed with each command.
At this point, we want to generate a new variable with four groups
with numbers 1-12. This represents the 12 treatments in each rep-
lication group. To do this, select the submenu Create new variable
(extended) (Figure 2.13).
