Hi list,

I do not have any macro experience and the spsstools macro tutorial
leaves me cold!  Would anyone be able to suggest a macro approach
outline to the following:

1. Open n of N files
2. Select a subset based on a given criterion 3. Sort by some other
criterion 4. Compute a new variable based on two existing vars 5.
Aggregate into a new file

TIA
