Or possibly: Temporary. Select if( Cluster = '2A' ). freq / Code.
The temporary makes the select if statement active only for the next analysis. So you'd have to repeat it if you had a second analysis. You could also omit it but then your dataset will be altered... I hope you're not analyzing your only copy of the data... -Alan -- Alan D.
