I think the observation numbers or markers were also wanted. Perhaps
like this:
<hansl>
open AWM
# show biggest 5 values
series date = $obsdate
list L = GCR_YER date
eval mreverse(msortby({L}, 1)[1:5,])
</hansl>
But the number format of the date is not adequate there.
So:
<hansl>
open AWM
m = mreverse(msortby({obs, GCR_YER},2))[1:5,]
strings S = array(5)
loop i=1..5
S[i] = obslabel(m[i,1])
endloop
rnameset(m, S)
print m
</hansl>
But by now it's not quite so trivial.
