Subject:      Sample size as variable...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Yet another newbie/former C programmer question...  Thanks for all who have
patiently helped me out so far... Question #3 of the week:

I want to do an if/then statement which relies on the sample size of a
dataset...

IF observationvalue > some function of the sample size of the dataset that
observationvalue comes from THEN DELETE;

I can't for the life of me seem to figure out how to get the sample size
variable available to the IF/THEN statement.

Related: how do I create ANY single-value variable (seems all variable
definitions involve creating an array -- I just want to do a simple "n = 3"
and "3 3 3 3 3 ... To the end of the dataset".
