[gradsusr] problem in displaying variables

[T. haghroosta]

Dear Ricardo, Yes, I did as like as you explained. I am in doubt, maybe I have to do it again. I have a question; the source fnl file has a size of 23 MB, but after converting it to a ctl and an idx file, each of them has a size of just seven kb, is it correct and acceptable? I think maybe the converting process has not been done correctly.
Regards, T.
