Why would you want to hide rows? And, if you could hide rows (I don't know if you can or not), would the rows be hidden from any person that opened the file, from all procedure commands, e.g., the frequencies command, from all transformation commands, some combination?

I don't want to hide rows from anyone.

I only want to have clear view. Let's say I have commands, which execute
couple of graph (35 lines for each graph) and I don 't want to see it for a
while. It easier to scroll and find something what i need to modify
(transformation/analysis), what is somewhere under/over this graph commands.

put blocks of text that are at later stages of drafting in other files and
use the INSERT command.

Version 25 has a bunch of enhancements to the Syntax Editor, but collapsing or hiding commands did not come up as a suggestion AFAIK.  Collapsing would be a great feature and would fit in with the command span indicator and the autoindent.  In lieu of that feature, you might make use of the window split feature that lets you look at two different sections of the syntax at the same time.  Its the toolbar icon that looks like ----.

Thanks for answers. I have never used this ------ option, this might be
useful.

But I got another related to the insert command question. Sometimes I have
something in dataset, what I want to move into syntax automatically and
execute. To do this I save translate (for example couple of first records
from chosen column) into text file and use Insert to execute this
automatically. Is there a way to do this without saving text file into
memory????


Thanks in advance.

It's hard to answer without more details.  Macros and programmability may be relevant.

Generally I wonder is it possible to put inside macro text(1 column) from
active dataset without saving file translate into .csv and using Insert
command to execute it automatically ?

Let's say I got 2 datasets, 1 with data, 2 with result of some aggregations
or calculations statistics with OMS option.
After some changes(simple transform) in second base I get column with basic
transforming command, for example second dataset might loook like this:

I want to move column 'text' from active dataset into syntax editor(macro)


id, text
1, recode v1
2, (lo thru 5=1
3, (lo thru 12=1
4, (lo thru hi=4)

Could you provide a specific example of when/where such a capability would be
useful?

According to your question I am pretty sure that there is no way to do this
:)

But I  wonder whether that could be useful when I want to do some
transformations base on statistics, which are not available in aggregate
commands (e.g. percentiles in subgroup)?

If by "percentiles in subgroup" you refer to basic percentiles from
frequencies/RANK etc, FREQ supports SPLIT FILE, RANK has a BY clause.  You
can also build cumulative stuff via LAG... If you really want to go for it
look at MATRIX command.  You can do just about anything that you can write a
formula to compute.
OTOH there is always python.

The way to do this is to use programmability to define a function that can build the macro.  It might have a signature like  

def datamacro(macrotext, variable, nrows)

You might call it like

begin program.

datamacro("!somename (%s).", "text", 4)

end program.

In this example the values of the first four rows of a variable named text would be defined as a macro named !somename.

If this fits your use case, I can flesh this out.  This example just defines a macro symbol with those values, but more complicated things could be done.

David, I absolutely agree that calculating statistics with splitting and feq
etc. is the best solution. But I can image that in some situation
faster/easier will be using method I described. That why I wanted do know is
it possible.

Jon, I got error with this commands. What did I wrong?  



INPUT PROGRAM.
LOOP #i = 1 to 50.
Compute v1=trunc(RV.UNIFORM(1, 70)).
end case.
end loop.
end file.
END INPUT PROGRAM.
execute.
dataset name a1.

data list FREE
/text(a19).
begin data.
'recode v1'
'(lo thru 10=1)'
'(lo thru 20=2)'
'(lo thru hi=3)'
end data.
execute.
dataset name c1.
dataset activate c1.

begin program.
datamacro("!somename (%s).", "text", 4)
end program.

dataset activate a1.

!somename .

The function isn't written yet.  I was just suggesting what it might look like.  I can write it if you want to go this way.

now I get it...:)

datamacro is function, which need to be write in python. I thought that it
is some default function, which already exists (sth like split string
trans).

I would be obliged, but I don't know whether it is too much do ask.

I have a question:  How are these lines of to be executed code generated in
the first place?
Perhaps provide an actual use case/process flow to instill some sense that
this is actually a problem which doesn't already have a solution using basic
syntax.
