I manage a team of programmers. I make it clear that our shop standards require easily maintainable code.
COMPUTE X= Y + Table(J) / 4.4.
Should include parentheses. Make it simple for the guy that has to read that code 7 years from now. He may have responded to a call at midnight to fix the code and restart the nights processing.
COMPUTE X= Y + (Table(J) / 4.4).
Some of our equations for statistical reports can be several lines long and reference several tables.
