/* */.  with the period causes error message problem


COMPUTE C = A * B.
EXECUTE. /* error: EXECUTE Unrecognized text appears on the EXECUTE command.  This command allows no subcommands. */.  << remove this period

COMPUTE D = A * B.  /*error: COMPUTE Incorrect variable name: either the name is more than 64 characters, or it is not defined by a previous command. */.  << remove this period
EXECUTE.

Removing the period does not fix the LOOP coloring in the syntax window.
