UNSELECTED Subcommand (SAVE command)

UNSELECTED determines whether cases that were excluded on a previous FILTER or USE command are to be retained or deleted in the saved data file. The default is RETAIN. The UNSELECTED subcommand has no effect when the active dataset does not contain unselected cases.

RETAIN. Retain the unselected cases. All cases in the active dataset are saved. This setting is the default when UNSELECTED is specified by itself.

DELETE. Delete the unselected cases. Only cases that meet the FILTER or USE criteria are saved in the data file.
