Subject:      10 most frequent occurring values of a multiple response  set
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Dear List,
I have a data file with  variables :
X ,  y1 ,  y2 ,   z1,  z2 and  z3

I wont to a accomplish the following task :
        1.      create a multiple response set  z  from  z1,z2 and z3 .
        2.      Rank z and select cases for rank z <= 10
        3.      select cases from my original data file where  z = z1, z2  or z3

My objective is to create a new dataset  restricted to  10 most frequent occurring values of a multiple response set created from  z1 , z2 and z3

Any ideas on how to accomplish this will be most welcome.
