TASSET compares groups of tasks (modules) using co-performance values. Core tasks are defined as tasks which are members of the module. Potential core tasks are all those tasks whose co-performance value is greater than or equal to either the lowest co-performance value of a core task or a specified cutoff, whichever is greater.
Automatic Process Generation
If an output FACSET file is specified on the program invocation line, a SETSXX will be run, listing all factors created.
Program Invocation
The specific syntax for program invocation varies between operating systems. This document diplays the code for the AIX version.
opt: G Do not print group summary report
L List overall summary matrix
T Do not print task level report
ssss: The study number
TFf1: Input Task Factor file (usually tf600)
TT: Input Task Title file
TFf2: Input Task Factor file (optional) for obtaining PTS and PMP group
vectors (default is <tf1>). (Usually tf100)
FS: Output FACSET file (optional)
The second Task Factor file is available for those users who prefer to keep related factors on separate files. The co-performance factors are related with task clustering (tf600), while the necessary PTS and PMP vectors are associated with case clustering (tf100). Instead of keeping these factors in the same file, the user should avoid confusion and keep the factors separate.

Group Selection Cards
These cards specify the groups to be compared. Up to 398 groups may be specified, with 1 - 11 groups per card. There must be a COP vector available on the input Task Factor file for each group specified.
