                  Status: None
             Assigned to: None
             Open/Closed: Open
                 Release: None
                  Effort: 0.00

    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The following syntax:

DATA LIST /ITEM 1-3.
COMPUTE SUM=SUM+ITEM.
PRINT /ITEM SUM.
LEAVE SUM
BEGIN DATA.
123
404
555
999
END DATA.

yields this error:

test.pspp:2: error: COMPUTE: Unknown identifier SUM.

because the variable SUM is only created after the COMPUTE command has been
fully parsed, but it should succeed.
