Computation of heterogeneous correlations are feasible with the R-package polychor, which in version 18 of SPSS has an official interface (Analyze -> Correlate -> heterogeneous correlations). I have experienced numerical instabilities following calls to the SPSSINC HETCOR interface – but a direct call to R and polycor in regular SPSS syntax avoids these problems.
