st: Re: list [if] [in]
That is a drastic solution, in that Malcolm may not want to discard
the rest of his dataset at this point. He could use -preserve- before
these lines and -restore- after, but a kinder and gentler approach
would be
g byte nowant = (x != 5)
g enn = _n
sort nowant (enn)
l enn x in 1/10

I'm sure this question is easy to answer, but searching for it is
a little
hard given that there are a lot of "if"s and "in"s in the
documentation.
I want to be able to list the first 10 observations that conform
to a given
'if' statement.
I can't do
list if x=5 in 1/10
or
list in 1/10 if x=5
since that only returns the first 10 observations in the data -if-
they
conform.
