I am using syntax to score scales.

My spss stops working and turns to load after running about 5 lines of code.

I frequently have to force quit and try it again, and am constantly saving my work because of this.

I have freed up storage, I have cleared my caches, I have deleted and redownloaded it and restarted my computer.

Not sure what else to do.
