Re: st: drop in 1925486/1 leads to: Obs. nos. out of range, r(198)

Hi (Eva),

I want to divide my data into two seperate files. So I would first like 
to use -drop in 1925486/1- to delete the last rows of the data and save 
the remaining part. Then I want to use -drop in 1/1925485- to delete the 
first part in order to save the rest of the data in a second file.

Perhaps it does not work because it is version 8..

Thanks for your help.
Silke
