I used "copy selected cases to a new dataset", and clicked on "paste".
This is the syntax:
DATASET COPY sep.
DATASET ACTIVATE sep.
FILTER OFF.
USE ALL.
SELECT IF(MONTH = 9).
DATASET ACTIVATE samestore.
EXECUTE .
This created a new dataset just with September data, as promised. Not
sure why it takes you back to the original dataset though.
You would need to activate the new dataset with just the filtered
cases-- either by clicking or by syntax (DATASET ACTIVATE sep).

Subject: Moving Filtered Data to a new file
hi guys i just have a quick question. when i go to Select Cases and
filter out my data, theres an option to save filtered data to another
database. I tried it, but ti says there is no such filename that exists.
So I'm guessing I would have to createa nother SPSS data file with each
of those variable specifications? if so, is there any way I can copy the
variables from a given data file and then paste them into a new one.
thanks!
