Try this

compute flag = 0.
FORMATS flag (F1).
do if (discd gt ' 51' and discd lt ' 57').
if (yrmoda(discyr,discmo,discdy) gt yrmoda(appryr,apprmo,apprdy)) flag = 1.
else if (discd le ' 51' and discd ge ' 57').
compute flag = 0.
end if.

execute.

Hi list.  Spss (9.1) does not like my comma after discyr.  Actually, it
didn't like anything about my syntax below.  Comments please -- thanks.
