FACEXT takes requested factors from a FACSET or MODSET file and creates a text file and a symbolic layout. Factors are extracted and placed on the file in the order requested so that factors can be rearranged from their original format.
Program Invocation
The specific syntax for program invocation varies between operating systems. This document diplays the code for the AIX version.
opt: Program Options (none currently supported) ssss: The study number FS: Input FACSET/MODSET file FE: Output Factor Extract file CI: Output layout file
FACEXT Control Card
literal: cc 01-06 "FACEXT" required.
study: cc 08-11 The study number for this run
title: cc 13-72 Title for this run. This will appear on the title
card in the generated layout.
Factor Request Cards
FAC: cc 01-03 The literal 'FAC' fac1: cc 05-08 The next factor to extract d1: cc 09 The literal '-' or blank fac2: cc 10-13 The next factor to extract d2: cc 14 The literal '-' or blank fac3: cc 15-18 The next factor to extract d3: cc 19 The literal '-' or blank fac4: cc 20-23 The next factor to extract d4: cc 24 The literal '-' or blank fac5: cc 25-28 The next factor to extract d5: cc 29 The literal '-' or blank fac6: cc 30-33 The next factor to extract d6: cc 34 The literal '-' or blank fac7: cc 35-38 The next factor to extract d7: cc 39 The literal '-' or blank fac8: cc 40-43 The next factor to extract d8: cc 44 The literal '-' or blank fac9: cc 45-48 The next factor to extract d9: cc 49 The literal '-' or blank fac10: cc 50-53 The next factor to extract d10: cc 54 The literal '-' or blank fac11: cc 55-58 The next factor to extract d11: cc 59 The literal '-' or blank fac12: cc 60-63 The next factor to extract d12: cc 64 The literal '-' or blank fac13: cc 65-68 The next factor to extract d13: cc 69 The literal '-' or blank fac14: cc 70-73 The next factor to extract d14: cc 74 The literal '-' or blank fac15: cc 75-78 The next factor to extract
FACEXT will use these request cards in the order specified. When a range of factors is requested, fac1 may be greater than fac2 in which case FACEXT will process the factors reversed. FACEXT will compute the number of characters needed to represent this factor and create the proper layout field. The highest factor number allowed is 400 and this is also the limit on the number of factor requests.
These cards are terminated by an end-of-file or an '@eof' image.
Example
@codap facext - ssss fs000 fe000 fe000.layout FACEXT ssss Layout for factors extracted from FS000. FAC 0001-0008 0013-0011 0015 @EOF
This will create the text file 'fe000' and the layout 'fe000.layout' using factors 1-8, 13, 12, 11, and 15.
