This utility is used to reduce the size of odbs. This is achieved by generating an 'empty' odb (using a datacheck analysis) and adding selected frames and variables to the odb. As the plug-in has undergone limited testing it is recommended that the user checks the newly created ODB before deleting the original.

Usage: Plug-ins->ODB Reduction...
Applicable modules: Visualization.

Note: The utility can also be run in batch mode. An HTML page is provided as documentation.
