This is the kind of thing that the Data Validation option does, but that was introduced, I think, in SPSS 14. You can write a lot of IF statements and then summarize them otherwise.

Subject: [SPSSX-L] Values out of Range
Hi Listers:
I have SPSS V13 and I have a large Database 6k records and 2k variables. Is
there an efficient way to write syntax to check if every variable is within
specified ranges. For example var1 can be sysmis or between 1 and 5, var2
cannot be sysmiss and must be between 1 and 2, etc. I have a list of all
variables and their respective posible values.
Does anyone working on a market research company has an idea of how this
would work, basically I'm trying to simplify a job that could take me a lot
of time.
Regards,
