Edric:
I think it is what you need:
 
Example:
DO IF (IF-CLAUSE).
+ COMPUTE AGE=1998-YEAR.
ELSE IF ().
+
 
END IF.
This is explained in the Syntax Reference Guide or the help.

Part of the original message:
Is it posibble to execute a line in a syntax depending of a parameter ?,
somthing like an "if then else". I need to get data from a file, the file I want
to get depends of a parameter I give the syntax.
