Spending a few seconds to have pasted the syntax might have led to your

ROFLMAO!
The same question appeared in the SPSS group on usenet (comp.soft-sys.stat.spss). After prompting, Tara did post one of the troublesome COMPUTE commands there, and Fred Sutton spotted that the continuation lines were starting at the left margin. Inserting a space at the beginning of each continuation line fixed the problem. Well, it did for Fred at least. We've not heard back from Tara yet. ;-)
