Subject:      Filter cases but keep SYSMIS cases
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Hello all:

I am trying to filter some cases out of a sample.  I am using a filter
variable that has 6 categories (1-6) and I want to keep all the cases with
codes 1-5 and the SYSMIS cases, but delete the cases with a code of 6.  When
I use this syntax, SELECT IF(var<6), I lose all the SYSMIS cases.  Is there
a way that I can keep the SYSMIS cases?

Thanks,
