how do we get duplicate observations in a separate dataset?..

Answer / rajaanku11

First sort them in descending order and then using first.var
separate all the first observations into a new dataset and
the remaining into another. So unique observations from each
group
will come into one dataset and the other duplicate
observations will enter into another dataset.
