Re: Cleaning data - remove cases

[John Darrington]

According to the manual, the /KEEP and /DROP subcommands to SAVE should also 
work.

So if they don't, then please report it as a bug.

     Hi all
     
      
     
     Sorry if this is obvious but I have looked in the manuals and I can't find
     what I'm after.
     
      
     
     My other post referred to a huge dataset I'm playing with.   Simple data
     cleaning led me to find around 800 cases with bad data.   I can filter them
     but I can't find a command anywhere to drop them.   It's been a few years
     since I used SPSS but the standard procedure was to do something like:
     
     SAVE OUTFILE="xyz"
     
                 /KEEP filter_$="OK"
     
      
     
     There doesn't seem (please tell me if I'm wrong) to be a way to do this in
     PSPP.
     
      
     
     Cheers
     
     Rob
