Actually, PROC SURVEYSELECT will *not* do this.  Not without lots of
steps and auxiliary fiddling.  It *will* split a data set into two groups,
marked SELECTED=0 and SELECTED=1 in the data set, and you can
control the sampling rate in that.  So you could do this iteratively with
PROC SURVEYSELECT, which would be icky.
