In the google geocoding api docs it says you can use the plus code instead of
an address,
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/overview#geocoding-lookup,
so this example I give on my blog would work out of the box,
https://andrewpwheeler.com/2016/04/05/using-the-google-geocoding-api-with-python/.

You can define that function in a BEGIN PROGRAM PYTHON - END PROGRAM, and
then use SPSSINC TRANS. Or do the geocoding all in python.

Note to do geocoding via the google API you need to pay money, although the
free amount you get per month is probably enough for any NGO doing surveys.
