Hi

I'm going to need to do a 1:10 matching for a matched case control study and I found this example syntax the GUI produced that someone shared on stackoverflow.

It runs, but it's hanging up and I'm not sure whether it's the code or the fact that my laptop is on the brink of destruction.

Would someone be willing to run this and let me know if works?. thanks

Carol
