sven,
I am drawing the two samples from different sub-sets - each sub-set was
conditioned on a different dummy variable i.e. they are different
populations from which I am drawing a sample.
One approach here would be:
1. Make your first sample, and save the sub-sampled data to file
("store" command); say this is sample1.gdt
2. Do the same with your second sample, call this sample2.gdt
3. Open sample1.gdt and append sample2.gdt ("append" command).
