Create an SPSS data file of the cases you wish to delete. Use match files
with the IN feature for your files of cases to be deleted, and then select
if not in the file of cases to be deleted.

Subject: Deleting many cases
Hello Discussion Board Members,
I need to delete about 1500 cases (from about 300k). I have an identifying
variable for the values I need to delete. For example, I need to delete
cases# 101, 1402, 1803, etc.
My list of what needs to be removed is currently in Excel. Any tricks for
writing an incredibly long SELECT IF?
Many thanks in advance!
Jon
