     Hello,
     
     I am working at a company that has a limited number of single-user licenses
     for SPSS. I have a production job that works on SPSS, but I can't seem to
     find the equivalent on PSPP. I have a trial version of SPSS myself that
     expires in just 2 days, so help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
     Please let me know whether production jobs can be done on PSPP!


I hadn't heard of the term "production job" until you mentioned it.  So I 
searched
IBM's web site and found this definition:

  "Production jobs provide the ability to run IBM® SPSS® Statistics in an 
   automated fashion. The program runs unattended and terminates after 
executing 
   the last command, so you can perform other tasks while it runs or schedule 
the 
   production job to run automatically at scheduled times. "


The answer is, yes.  PSPP can do that.  Just put the commands in a file start 
pspp
passing it the name of the file.
