IMPORTCD will read an exported Case Data text file created by EXPORTCD and write a Case Data file.
Automatic Process Generation
IMPORTCD will generate follow-on runstreams based on information given on the program invocation line and options specified. If an output Variable Titles file is specified, a MAKDFL will be run, and if the 'P' option is given a DICTXX will also be run. If an output Task Title file is specified, a MAKTFL will be run, an if the 'P' option is given a TASKXX will also be run.
Program Invocation
The specific syntax for program invocation varies between operating systems. This document diplays the code for the AIX version.
opt: P Print listings of all created titles files
D Run an AUDITD
ssss: The study number
CDfX: Input portable Case Data file
CDf: Output Case Data file
VTf: Output Variable Title file
TT: Output Task Title file
Example
@codap importcd p ssss cd100.exp cd100 vt100 tt001
This run will create a Case Date file from a portable copy, as well as generate follow-on runs to create a Variable Title file and a Task Title file. Because the 'P' option is given a DICTXX and TASKXX will also be run.
