Re: st: RE: Slicing data set
What about dropping the saved data from the large data set - if that is
allowed in your application (no overlap between data-slices).
I mean you could do the following:
***************************
use <somedata>
preserve
keep if <somecondition>
save <sliceofsomedata>
restore
drop if <somecondition>
preserve
...
***************************
wouldn't that increase speed because the original data set gets smaller
and you save a last preserve?
