SPSSers:

I have a dataset containing test scores, dates, and an ID variable.  Some
examinees have taken the test multiple times (i.e., some cases are linked to
the same ID).  I have sorted test scores within ID by recency, but I can't
figure out how to delete all but the most recent score for each ID.  Help
me.
