Hi,
thanks for all of the answers. Especially the detailed
answer from Sergiy helped me very much.

Here is a little more background information on the task
I'm working on:
I want to generate a matrix of frequencies.
The idea is do just on loop over all my observations and
increment the appropriate frequencies matrix entries.

I need the locals named after the city codes as an index
telling me in which row of my frequency matrix I need
to increment the entries.

The -collapse- command is not going to work for me because
of its vast need of memory, see my post:
"RE: st: RE: collapse is too memory demanding"
from Tue, 27 Jul 2010.
The workaround is working but is quite slow, it took about
20 hours to complete. That's why I'm thinking of a way to
program more efficient.


Kind regards
Oliver
