Statscraft 0.7.0, release v0.7.0

FILE TYPE

Start the definition of a file with several kinds of records.

Syntax

FILE TYPE MIXED | GROUPED | NESTED [FILE='path' | handle] [ENCODING='UTF-8']
    RECORD=[var] columns [(format)] [CASE=[var] columns [(format)]]
    [WILD=WARN | NOWARN] [DUPLICATE=WARN | NOWARN | CASE] [MISSING=WARN | NOWARN]
    [ORDERED=YES | NO].
RECORD TYPE value ... / DATA LIST ... pairs follow, then END FILE TYPE.
MIXED: each record of a listed type is a case; others are skipped. GROUPED: the
records with one CASE value make one case (CASE required). NESTED: the RECORD TYPE
commands go from the highest level to the lowest; each lowest-level record is a case
with the values of the records above it. Defaults: WILD=NOWARN (WARN for grouped),
DUPLICATE and MISSING WARN for grouped and NOWARN for nested, ORDERED=YES (grouped
only); DUPLICATE=CASE (nested) makes a case of a record that has no records below it.

Example

FILE TYPE GROUPED RECORD=#test 6 CASE=student 1-4.
RECORD TYPE 1.
DATA LIST /english 8-9 (A).
RECORD TYPE 2.
DATA LIST /reading 8-10.
END FILE TYPE.

statscraft help FILE TYPE prints the same text in the terminal. All commands
