PDELETE= person one-line item deletion

A one-line list of persons to be deleted or reinstated can be conveniently specified with PDELETE=. This is designed to be used in the post-analysis Specification pull-down menu box.

The formats are:

PDELETE=        3        ; an entry number: delete person 3

PDELETE=        6 1        ; delete persons 6 and 1

PDELETE=        2-5        ; delete persons 2, 3, 4, 5

PDELETE=        +3-10        ; delete all persons, then reinstate persons 3 to 10.

PDELETE=        4-20 +8        ; delete persons 4-20 then reinstate person 8

PDELETE=3,7,4,10        ; delete persons 3, 7, 4, 10. Commas, blanks and tabs are valid separators. Commas are useful at the "Extra information prompt.

Example 1:        After an analysis is completed, delete criterion-performance synthetic cases from the reporting.

       In the Specification pull-down box:

               PDELETE=16 25 87

Example 2:        Delete all except persons 5-10 and report

               Specification menu box:        PDELETE=+5-10

               Output Tables Menu

               Now reinstate item 11 and report items 5-11.

               Specification menu box:        PDELETE= 1 +11        ; item 1 is already deleted, but prevents deletion of all except +11.
