st: save a subset of data

[tashi lama <ltashi32@hotmail.com>]

Hello all, 

           Is there a way to save a subset of a dataset with list command? You know how we save graphs...i.e. tsline var1, saving(filename) 

I want to list the variables and save... may be sth like this...


list var1 var2, saving(filename)

   

I know this is wrong, but is there a way we can sth to save the datasets displayed by list... 

 

Also, while using odbc command, instead of using #delimit; because my query is too long to write in a single line, I tried using ///. /// is highlighted green except the first line. Unsurprisingly, when I run I get "unmatched quote". Can someone explain? I mean i could use #delimit; but I have a do file with multiple single line commands and i don't wnat to keep puttingt ";". 

 

 

 

Thanx...

Tashi
