Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed

I've been trying to save a sequence of actions for rapid use next year when the same questions will arise. In recovering syntax from the log, one of the statements comes out as

COMPUTE filter_$=(PDSOURCE= '08' OR PDSOURCE = '12' OR PDSOURCE = '21' OR PDSOURCE = '25' OR PDSOURCE = '34').

However, this must not have been two lines in the original, because in this version, SPSSX (ver. 12) interprets the second line as a variable label command, and replaced the label of the variable PDSOURCE with the string "'25' OR PDSOURCE = '34')"

How do I properly indicate a continuation line for this COMPUTE command?

Thanks, Bob Schacht
