  look forward to your answers

1. Help - Topics - Index - macro facility

2. Help - Command Syntax Reference - DEFINE - !ENDDEFINE

3. http://www.spsstools.net/Macros.htm

4. Search Google Books for "Next Steps with SPSS", and see chapter 4.

5. Search the archives of this list and of comp.soft-sys.stat.spss for examples.

If you are a newbie, I would suggest that you first get syntax down.
functions vectors etc are in the syntax.


If I understand correctly macros are now obsolete.   Take a look at Python.
