You'll need to rerun the syntax that created the calculated variables.

If you haven't made any changes to the previously existing cases your
calculated values won't change when you rerun the syntax (they'll be
recalculated but the values shouldn't change).  If you have made changes and
you don't want to loose the old calculated values on the old cases, you'll
have to put the syntax in a do if/end if structure selecting only the new
cases for the transformation.

Reflecting on the previous discussion "Why Syntax," here's another reason.

I have added new cases to a SPSS sheet that has multiple calculated
variables.

How can I have SPSS calculate the variable values for those new cases too?
