st: Re: statsby with multiple variables

["Michael Blasnik" <michael.blasnik@verizon.net>]

-summarize- with multiple variables only stores the results for the last 
variable.  You may want to try using -collapse- instead or else writing your 
own ado to return the results you want -statsby- to pick up.  If you go 
the -collapse- route and don't want to lose your current dataset in memory, 
you can use a -preserve-, -collapse-, -save-, -restore-  sequence.
