Aha! You only have that button if your currently open dataset contains
a dummy. Try this:
Yes, your example works. I think I found out the problem:
- with bjg.gdt open, in the GUI choose shorter sample
- Add/sample range dummy, don't change the setting (equal to active
sample), choose name "d"
- restore full sample
- go to Sample/restrict based on criterion
-> no radio button
It seems the dummy isn't allowed to contain missing values. Wouldn't it
make sense to treat missings as zeros in this context?
