DROP subcommand (CASESTOVARS command)

The DROP subcommand specifies the subset of variables to exclude from the new data file.

• You can drop variables that appear on the ID list.
• Variables listed on the DROP subcommand may not appear on the FIXED or INDEX subcommand.
• Dropped variables are not candidates to become a variable group in the new data file.
• You cannot drop all variables. The new data file is required to have at least one variable.
