It's hard to test syntax without the data so it's better to post short
syntax files and small datafiles.
There was a typo (no period after the third compute statement) but even
after I fix that it doesn't work. Var0001 is missing when the first DO
IF doesn't fire. I am also mystified as to why; po
Sorry, I forgot to add "END IF." Here's where it would go:
DO IF(P5=2 or P6=2 or P7=2).
COMPUTE Var0001 = 1.
ELSE IF (P8=1).
COMPUTE Var0001 = 2.
ELSE.
COMPUTE Var0001 = 3
END IF.
EXECUTE.

You have the syntax wrong. I imagined variable V1. I have no idea is
this accomplishes what you want, it just corrects the syntax to
illustrate how you have the syntax wrong. The spacing before the
RECODE/COMPUTE statements is just to make it easier to read.
DO IF(P5=2 or P6=2 or P7=2).
RECODE
