Hi,

I just received a mail saying that removal of ddfm = kr speeds up the
calculation. It took around a second (why is there so much difference
in time?) Also in his document Kaz (link in original post) advises to
use ddfm = kr as that was also advised by SAS instructor (from SAS
training). Could somebody tell me whether it is more appropriate to use
ddfm = kr or ddfm = bw?

(I also tried with ddfm = bw, as given in Judith's doc and it took less
than a second).

regards,
Hari
