KEYFROM= location of KEYn= = 0, before &END

Top Up Down  A A

Only use this if you have the scoring Key conveniently in data-record format.

 

Instructs where to find the KEYn= information.

KEYFROM=0

KEY1= through KEY99=, if used, are before &END.

 

KEYFROM=1

KEY1 information follows after &END, but before the item names. The key is formatted exactly like a data record. It is helpful to place the name of the key, e.g. "KEY1=", where the person name would usually go, for reference.

 

KEYFROM=n

KEY1=, then KEY2=, and so on up to KEYn= (where n is a number up to 99) follow &END, but placed before the item names. Each key is formatted exactly like a data record. It is helpful to place the name of the key, e.g. "KEY2=", where the person name would usually go.
