Do you mean 'eliminate duplicate records'? If yes then v. 13 has an  
'identify duplicate cases' option. It uses whatever variable(s) you choose  to define 
dupe, and makes one unique record 'primary' with a code 1 and the rest  
secondary with a code 0. You can select and delete all but the primary / 1  records 
if that is the solution you need.

I wish  to delete double records in a variable. I need  your
help.
