I understand now, Gary, thank you.
The short answer is "No, we have nothing that will directly do that."
In terms specific to your example, however, the ChartBuilder (Graph > ChartBuilder) can be used to create the bar chart, rather than FREQUENCIES; the advantage there is that you can paste its syntax as well, and edit that to change the titles in the pasted GPL. At this point, that's all I can recommend.

Ok. I think I might have worded the original post in a confusing manner (sorry still trying to learn SPSS and the vernacular)
I had gotten the Syntax:
FREQUENCIES VARIABLES=QID3
/BARCHART FREQ
/ORDER=ANALYSIS
Which generated a table and bar chart. What I wanted to know is how to modify the Syntax so that the changes that were made in the Output Editor/Chart Editor could be made automatically without me having to make the change every time I want to run the table.
Where becomes
Change Made: Title from "Demographics_Baruch_Role – Selected Choice" becomes "Demographics: Respondent Role"
And
becomes
Changes Made(3) : (1) Title from "Demographics_Baruch_Role – Selected Choice" becomes "Demographics: Respondent Role";
(2) X Axis Label from "Demographic_Baruch_role – Selected Choice" to "Selected Choice"
(3) Y Axis Label from "Frequency" to "Number of Resp."
Thanks

I'm not sure I understand.
Perhaps what you want to do is begin with the Frequencies dialog, but paste the syntax into a syntax window. You can run that syntax directly or modify it in any way you want.
If you need help with the options for the command, put the cursor on the word FREQUENCIES that is pasted and press <F1>. That brings up Help for whatever command had focus (i.e. , the cursor was on).

Starting with the system generated Frequency syntax, how can I modify this so that I can easily replicate changes that I made in the output editor
Is there a way to get the required syntax from the output viewer so that I can easily make the changes to the commands, instead of having to do the changes one by one each time I want to tabulate the data?
For example: Change from the original
FREQUENCIES VARIABLES=QID3
/BARCHART FREQ
/ORDER=ANALYSIS.
