SPSS Statistics

Hi everyone, 

Brand new to this forum and SPSS 28! I got pretty comfortable using SPSS 23. I have noticed a few funky things, and they are probably super simple settings I need to change, or updates that I have to get used to. 

My lab has compiled the syntax we use to score questionnaires, and in trying to just highlight this and run it, nothing happens. If I go through and manually do it through Compute Variable, it works, but there's no trace of it actually happening (i.e., in an output window) like there used to be. So if I wanted to update our syntax file, for example, I cannot see the actual command that worked. 

I ran descriptives and that came up in an output window, but I'm not seeing the typical play by play of whatever you run. Is this just not a thing in 28 or is there a way to open a window that does this? 

Has there been some update to the way syntax commands need to be written? 

Thanks so much in advance for your assistance!
