sas to spss

I am adapting a sas macro to spss and have some difficulty with the sas code, can anyone help me  translate the flowing code to spss

evx = 1*(event eq 1 and 0 le timeev le tfinal)+0*(event eq 0 or timeev > tfinal);

and the function

pvalue=2*(1-probnorm(abs(z)));

It is a lot of years since I used SAS, but try this check it against the semantic meaning of the variables.
It appears that the code is calculating a dichotomous (logical) variable evx. where the value is 1 if event is true and timeev is within a specific range and otherwise it is zero.
It is then find the probability of the absolute value of a z, subtracting that form one and doubling it.

�
data list list /event (f1) timeev(f2) tfinal(f2)z(f5.2).
begin data
1� 1 5 -3.11
1 -1 5� 2.10
0� 1 1� 1.00
1� 6 5 -2.11
end data.
compute evx =
� 1*(event eq 1 and range(timeev,0,tfinal))+
� 0*(event eq 0 or timeev gt tfinal).
compute evx2 = event eq 1 and range(timeev,0,tfinal).
compute pvalue=2*(1-cdf.norm(abs(z),0,1)).
formats evx evx2(f1) pvalue(f5.3).
frequencies variables= evx pvalue.
list.
