Looks like a handy little command. But while it saves some typing, I bet it doesn't save that much time, because the routine itself uses preserve. Here is the code in its entirety:

*! savin -- save a subset of the current data set (dm23: STB-22)
*! version 1.0 David Mabb October 12, 1994
program define savin
version 3.1
quietly {
local varlist "opt ex"
local if "opt pre"
local in "opt pre"
local using "req nopre"
local options "noLabel REPLACE"
parse "`*'"
preserve
if "`if'`in'"!="" { keep `if' `in' }
keep `varlist'
}
save `using', `replace'
end
