All sas dudes,

I have a dataset with over 1 million records of which i need to output
the top 1000 based on a numerical 'by' variable.  After it has been
sorted in decending order on the 'by' variable (which i can do) how
would I go about outputting the top 1000 records?

Also what would happen if there was a tie for the 1000th place?

Cheers for the help, Richard
