RE: st: FW: Urgent: Stored Data after the calculation

[keeler james <keelercalchas@hotmail.com>]

Ta, Martin.

After the command:

 list if Cohort=="Group 2" & A09!=.

I don't think I can use the command:

local second=A09[2]

anymore, I try to use the following

local second=r(N)

but it doesn't seem to work. Ummm...

Cal
