Statscraft 0.7.0, release v0.7.0

INPUT PROGRAM

Start an input program: commands that build the cases of a new active dataset.

Syntax

INPUT PROGRAM.
  DATA LIST, REREAD, REPEATING DATA, END CASE, END FILE and transformations
END INPUT PROGRAM.
The commands run again and again, each time from the top, until a DATA LIST runs out
of data or END FILE runs. Each run builds a case at its end, or at each END CASE when
the program has one. Before each case the variables are blank or system-missing again,
except scratch variables and those named on LEAVE. A run that reads no record and does
not end the file is an error, since it would repeat forever. SELECT IF, SAMPLE, FILTER,
TEMPORARY and procedures cannot stand inside. The program runs right away, or at
BEGIN DATA when it reads inline data.

Example

INPUT PROGRAM.
DATA LIST /#n 1 head 3-4 (A).
LEAVE head.
LOOP #i = 1 TO #n.
DATA LIST /item 1-2.
END CASE.
END LOOP.
END INPUT PROGRAM.

statscraft help INPUT PROGRAM prints the same text in the terminal. All commands
