Hi "Harrisonlv":
Untested, but this modified syntax should do what you want:
MATRIX.
GET ZScores /FILE="c:\academy\zscores.sav" / VARLIST=id_numb ZPHQ2 TO
ZPHQ240 /NAMES=VNames/ MISSING =
OMIT .
COMPUTE NVars=NCOL(ZScores).
COMPUTE Id=ZScores(:,1).
COMPUTE A=ZScores(:,2:NVars).
RELEASE ZScores, NVars.
GET B /FILE="c:\academy\academy2.sav" / VARLIST=var001 to var014 /MISSING =
OMIT .
COMPUTE SCORES = A*B .
SAVE {Id,SCORES} /NAMES=VNames /OUTFILE="c:\academy\scored.sav" .
END MATRIX .
Tell me if it doesn't.
