I have used SPSS at a university and on that program I can go to data/select cases/ and a drop down box allows me to pick a range of information from a particular column and select that....for example if I want to select only certain ages from a group (ages 13-20 from a column of ages 5-55) I can do that and it only selects those ages.  Is there a way to do that in PSPP?  I hope I am being clear.

Sintax is the better universal solution, ma if you wish use menu...

Menu solution:

1) create a new variable to use as filter

   Transform | Recode into Different variable

2) select cases using filter variable

   Data | Select cases | Use Filter variable
