Hi Nick, thanks for this
here is the output of describe, short
obs: 3,860
vars: 39 18 Mar 2013 15:37
size: 455,480
Sorted by: serial
Note: dataset has changed since last saved
For your info, I had already tried by keeping only variables finally
entering into the demand system and compress them. However I was not
able to run succesfully the command.
Thanks for your help,
Luca
