Subject: Selecting Cases with Text in a String Variable
I have a data set containing a string variable named q62.
I'd like to temporarily select only those cases that have text entries
in q62 (I do not want to delete the cases that have blanks in q62).
How would I write a syntax command to temporarily select only those
cases that have text entries in q62?
TIA
Locked
