Dexter, can you clarify exactly what you data is like and what it is you 
want to do?  Specifically,

* Do you have variables called mon1, mon2 , mon3, ...., mon204?

* Do you ONLY want to keep a case if ALL 204 mon variables equal 3???

That seems to be the implication of your original message, and it seems to 
be the goal of the code that has been suggested, but it seems a little odd 
to me so I wonder if I am understanding you correctly.  If the above is 
correct, it seems like Felipe's code should work, unless you copied it 
incorrectly.
