OK.

PSPP and SPSS both document that COMPUTE creates variables with format
F8.2.

SPSS documents that IF creates variables with format F8.2.  PSPP doesn't
document anything (we should fix that).

SPSS documents that RECODE creates variables with the format specified
on SET FORMAT.  PSPP doesn't document anything (we should fix that) and
if it doesn't do what SPSS does then we should fix that too.

Thanks,

Ben.
