     Thanks for the quick response, John. I probably should have mentioned
     earlier that I want to make it a line in a batch file without actually
     running the shell. So for comparison, here's the working code I have for
     SPSS:
     
     "C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\20\stats.exe" %TEMP% -production
     silent -symbol @datafile %DATA%
     
     where %TEMP% is the name of the production job file and %DATA% the data
     file I'm reading in. Simply swapping the stats.exe with the PSPP equivalent
     doesn't do the trick. What would I do in this case?

You don't have to run a shell, but it makes it easier if you do.

It seems that you are using windows, which is not an OS with which I am 
familiar.
However, I don't see any reason why it should behave any different.
Just run (either using the shell or some other way): 
 <path-to-pspp-binary>/pspp.exe filename

Maybe a windows expert can advise you further.
