Sorry folks - Select cases, unselected cases are deleted did the trick.

 

Thx

Subject: Cleaning data - remove cases

 

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
