The more you can tell us, the better. The more you can isolate the problem, the better. Say you are having difficulty with a statistical command using a large dataset. Spend some time with the problem. Can you recreate it with a smaller dataset?

Show us the full command you typed and the output it produced, including any error messages. Please read the procedure for sending output to Technical Services.
