The P-STAT Data Entry module is a fully interactive, screen-orientedsystem for defining variables, entering data and/or revising existing P-STAT system files. Data Entry is supported on selected systems includinghardware platforms running UNIX and DOS. Data Entry can be licensed forstandalone use, or as an optional module to the base P-STAT statisticalanalysis program.Data Entry features:- character values up to 260 characters in length (for a single
field/variable)- range checks (high and low values)
- allowable values (for example, gender: M or F, Male or Female, 1 or
2)- automatically generated values (date, time, sequence number, random)
Date and Time may be defined as either character or numeric variables.- skip patterns
- required variables
- patterns (masks) for individual variables
- master case definition
- the duplicate key "=" is used to copy a value for a given variable
from the previous case- retrieve the previous case for editing (this will be replaced 1Q-95
with a direct access file format)- full case validation at data entry time or on an existing P-STAT
system file- validation of selected variables
- optional capitalization or conversion to upper or lower case of
character values- special characters may replace function keys on dumb terminals
- output to P-STAT system file or any of several ASCII file formats,
including SPSS export format, SAS Data Step format, dif (data interchangeformat) and dBase.The Data Entry command has two parts: variable definition and dataentry. Variable definitions may be entered in an interactive P-STATsession using the DATA.ENTRY command, or entered into an external fileand referenced in the DATA.ENTRY command using the DEF.IN identifier.This allows customers to enter their definitions using WordPerfect orother editors/wordprocessors which write out an ASCII file. Data Entryruns from a front-end MENU supporting function keys and pop-up menus.
