Dear all,
many thanks for the quick response.
Indeed, the recoding of some variables reduces the memory quiet a bit. Where
I had some idea how to do it, the loop-function worked also fine. So,
merging was not necessary. However, to increase the memory was not feasible.
Thank you again,
Stephan
PS. After full data manipulation, the dataset is just about 40mb in size...
