Hi, there
I want to drop some Observations in Stata, who are out of a certain range.
For example: I have 2 variables, the first one is an identnumber and
the second one are the earnings.
Now I want Stata to drop all the Observation who are under a minimum
earning and all who are over a maximum earning and save this under a
new variable.
 In the moment i can't figure it out by myself.
Hopefully someone can help me.
Boris
An example using the auto dataset...

sysuse auto
gen restrictedprice = price if(price >4000 & price < 11000)
