of for Numeric, use take():

selected_obs = take(data,nonzero(code == 1),1)

(this will select columns coresponding to where the code == 1, which is
how I read your question)


By the way, choose() and where() do something similar, but give you an
array back that is the saem size as the one you start with, with some
(or all) of the elements replaced. take() gives you a smaller array that
is a subset of the original one, which I think is what you want here.
