I don't believe it's possible as an SPSS function ...
But here are a couple alternatives that should suit you well:
Text Encryption --
http://www.myersdaily.org/joseph/javascript/alphac.htmlPaste the text, make up a key, click "Encrypt".
File Encryption --
http://www.truecrypt.org/This will allow you to encrypt your syntax, data and output files. Think of it like a password protected zip file (but it doesn't do any compression, just encryption).
Hope that helps,
-Eric
