If you are a beginner, you may not want to start with scripts. First get
syntax under your belt.

It is a good idea to never write over previous files. That way when you
go back to refine the process you the required info will be there.

Something like this sounds like what you are saying.
get file='d:\project\mydata.sav'.
do some transforms etc.
numeric reponse (f2).
compute reponse=  . . .
. . .
* once you do any procedure the variables created by the transformations
section will be in your active file.
save outfile = 'd:\project\mydata2.sav' /rename(reponse = test).
