The format descriptors are:
|
|
In = Integer field width n columns
|
|
Fn.m = Numeric field, n columns wide including n-m-1 integral places, a decimal point and m decimal places
|
|
An = Alphabetic field, n columns wide
|
|
nX = n blank columns.
|
|
When CSV=Y, commas separate the values, which are squeezed together without spaces between. Quotation marks surround the "Person name", e.g., 1,2,3,4,"Name". When CSV=T, the commas are replaced by tab characters.
When W300=Yes, then this is produced in Winsteps 3.00, 1/1/2000, format:
