way to define the path name at the top of the syntax like I can in SAS with lib name so I do not have to customize the path names for each user?

Hi Bill,
Try this:
*Firstly define !path.
DEFINE !path()
'f:\DATA\SPSS\nfoods\nf9043\'
!ENDDEFINE.
*and use it like this.
SAVE OUTFILE=!path + 'hotprdm_comb.sav' /COMPRESSED .
GET FILE =!path + 'hotprdm_comb.sav'.
EXECUTE .
