EQ is a logical comparison.

= is setting a value into another field.

You ought to use the latter and end the line with a ;

What does the ; do at end?

It's a part of the syntax for DEFINE and COMPUTE that ends the line so you can start another DEFINE if you want. Take a look at this doc starting at page 294. It'll give you the syntax and examples.

I think there is a need for some basic training.

Raff, please check the documentation.
