The procedure for limiting the analysis to just a subset of cases in a data set which meet a particular condition is the Select Cases procedure in SPSS. It allows you to create a new data set containing only those cases that meet your criteria, such as selecting cases with a particular value on a variable, or selecting cases based on a combination of values across variables. The Compute, Recode, and Split File procedures are used for different purposes and would not achieve the same goal as the Select Cases procedure in this case.
