Perhaps I misunderstand you, but isn't this example from the online docs (which might be more current than the manual) what you mean?

recode x1 x2 (1 2 3/5=1) (6/10=2), gen(nx1 nx2)

In the case of your original example (following is meant to be all one line)

recode ajbmspay ajbmssec ajbmswrk ajbmshrs ajbmsflx ajbmsall(-4 -3 -1=.), gen(a_pay a_security a_work a_hours a_flexibility a_overall)
