> Hi,
> I would like to know if there is an easy way of selecting a range of data

age

> At the moment I write it out like this:
> list studyno age if x==0 | x==6 | x ==7 | x==9 | x==500

> In sas, one could write "not in(0,6,7,9,500)"
> or in spss, ~=range(x,0,6,7,9,500) (or something similar, can't quite
> remember!)
