Since version 16, SPSS has had a plug-in to enable running R code within SPSS. You can get the plug-in from SPSS Developer Central (www.spss.com/devcentral) for version 16 or 17. When you install the plugin, full documentation for the apis is installed.
You can get some or all of the active SPSS data into your R program like this:
dta = spssdata.GetDataFromSPSS()
Text and charts created by the R code you received will appear automatically in the SPSS Viewer. There are functions in the plugin that enable creating SPSS pivot tables, as well.
The PowerPoint on the front page of Developer Central entitled Programmability in SPSS Statistics 17 includes an example of integrating an R package, and the plugin documentation and the Programming and Data Management book liked from Devcentral have extensive discussions of the integration process.
SPSS 16 uses R 2.5, and SPSS 17 uses R 2.7.

Dear good people,
I have R code written by my friend to do something unavailable in SPSS.
Is there any way that I can bring this R code to run in SPSS platform?
Thanks,
CJ Kim
