Choosing between subsetting IF and IF-THEN DELETE
If both the Subsetting IF statement and the IF-THEN DELETE statement have the same effect (in this case, anyway), how do you choose?
If it is easier for you to think of "I do want the observations with these characteristics"
use subsetting IF:

	IF these-characteristics;

If it is easier for you to think of "I do not want the observations with those characteristics"
use IF-THEN DELETE:

	IF those-characteristics THEN DELETE;
