My favorite is:

SELECT IF ANY(TEST,1,2).

Keep in mind, however, that SELECT IF permanently removes cases from your file. If you only want to run one procedure precede the SELECT IF with a TEMPORARY command. If you are going to do several procedures you might want to create a filter variable instead.

COMPUTE FILT_VAR=0. IF ANY(TEST,1,2) FILT_VAR=1. FILTER BY FILT_VAR.
