Useful item identification greatly enhances the output tables.
You usually specify items labels between &END and END LABELS in the control file. You may also use ILFILE= for the initial or additional sets of item labels.
ILFILE= commands also add 'Edit ILFILE=' lines to the File pull-down menu.
Example: You wish to use abbreviated item labels for the initial analysis, but then switch to longer item labels to produce the final reports. In your control file specify the shorter labels, one per line, (a) between &END and END LABELS or (b) between ILFILE=* and * in the control file or (c) in a separate file identified by ILFILE=*
You can switch to the longer labels, in a file called "Longer.txt" by using the "Specification" menu item, and entering ILFILE=Longer.txt
If you have ILFILE= in your control file and your data is also in your control file , be sure that there is an "END LABELS" before your data (or that you specify INUMB=YES).
Example 1: 4 item arithmetic test with items in ILFILE=* NI=4 ILFILE=* Addition ; labels for the 4 items Subtraction Multiplication Division * &End END LABELS
Example 2: One set of item labels, then another .... NI=4 &End Addition ; labels for the 4 items Subtraction Multiplication Division END LABELS
Contents of "labels.txt" Plus Minus Product Quotient
After standard reporting: Specification pull-down menu box ILFILE=labels.txt or ILFILE=(full path)\labels.txt OK further reporting |
