Hello All
Thanks to Kit Baum, a new package -subsave- is now available for download
from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do this.
-subsave- is described as below on my website. It is similar to Nick
Cox's -savesome-, which I discovered just after writing -subsave-, and which
is also on SSC. However, -subsave- has 2 extra options, -rename()-
and -gsort()-, allowing users to rename variables and to resort observations
in the output dataset.
Best wishes
Roger

TITLE
subsave: Save a subset of the dataset in memory to a disk file
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
subsave saves a subset of the dataset currently in memory to a disk
file. This saves the user the trouble of inserting a preserve
statement before a save command and a restore statement after a save
command. This is especially useful in a group of commands between a
preserve command and a restore command, as paired preserve and restore
statements cannot be nested. In the output dataset, variables can be
renamed, and observations can be resorted.
