Nested IFs in SPSS

Is it possible to nest conditional statements in SPSS?

The following did not work for me:

    DO IF (t = resultcodeid)

        DO IF t = 1
            COMPUTE hits = r.
        END IF.

        DO IF t = 2
            COMPUTE misses = r.
        END IF.

    END IF.

   #YOU CAN USE THIS PROCESS:

          DO IF (t = resultcodeid)

         DO IF t = 1
        COMPUTE hits = r.

    ELSE IF t = 2
        COMPUTE misses = r.
    ELSE IF T=3
   COMPUTE  misses=r.
  ELSE IF .......


END IF.
EXECUTE.

DO IF can certainly be nested. Note that each statement needs to be terminated by a period.

Also, since the inner ones are alternatives, it would be cleaner to write that as
do if t = 1.
...
else if t = 2.
...
end if.
