Re: st: RE: cut and paste spouse's income

[Ada Ma <pec187@abdn.ac.uk>]

Thanks to Nick and Scott Merryman for their answers.

I haven't tried Scott's solution - I only found his answer today so I'm going to 
give it a go.  To single other kind of relationships I find Example 6 from 
Nick's FAQ particular helpful.

For the record the data set I'm dealing with (Labour Force Survey) has household 
and personal identifiers.  The relationship is specified by HALF a relationship 
matrix, only the lower left triangle but not the upper right triangle as some 
relationships are not symmetric.

Cheers,
Ada
