My original posting outlined two approaches. You here use and
comment on #1. You complain correctly about needing to edit
output into a new data set. This is answered by #2,
which leaves behind the results as variables in memory in the
same data set.
Naturally, for a larger data set you need to edit
the number of observations used for the data set.
