Multiple Selection of Cases
Posted: May 7th, 2015, 9:27 am
How can I do a multiple selection of cases I want to delete? I have to split a data set containing +28 K into three of four manageable parts for data entry to occur.
You can write a batch edit program that uses "skip case" to selectively write out cases to the output file. For example if you want to write out only cases for province 1 you would do:
PROC PROVINCE
if PROVINCE <> 1 then
skip case;
endif;
When you run this on an input data file that has cases in provinces 1, 2 and 3 then your output file will only contain cases with province 1. You can then modify the application to only output cases in province 2 and then again to only output cases in province 3.
