TABLES= selects the tables in a fixed sequence, and prints only one copy. TFILE= allows the analyst to print multiple copies of tables to different specifications. TFILE= specifies the name of an input ASCII file. Each line of the file contains a table number or table number.sub-table and other control parameters, separated by blanks or commas. Unused control values are specified with "-". The list may be entered directly into the control file with TFILE=* (see Example 2).

Example 2: Analyst wishes to specify on the DOS control line, Table 15 sorted on item name column 4. Values are separated by commas, because blanks act as end-of-line separators.

C:>WINSTEPS SF.TXT SFO.TXT TFILE=* 15,-,-,-,4 *

 

Example 3: To output the empirical keyforms in Table 17.3, etc.:

TFILE=*
