Subject:      Proc Surveyselect question regarding sample size for simple
              random sample

Hey Folks,

I've got a dataset, let's call it sample1. I'd like to user proc
surveyselect to output a simple random sample into dataset sample2.

I want the sample size to be the min (number of observation of sample1,100)

Hence, n=100 if # observations>=100 or
       n=#observations if n<100

What modfications do I need to make to my code below to pull this off?

Thanks

Randall




proc surveyselect data=sample1 method=srs n=100 out=sample2;
run;
proc print data=sample;
run;
