PUTDATA — ASCII-interface to statistical program packages (SAS)

Writes scalar speech parameters, psychopathology syndrome scores (ZGF, COPE, HAMD, PANSS, SANS, SSCL16, and SSCL16-Supplement) to a prespecified output device. The data format can either be generated implicitly through the program itself, or explicitly be specified through a format statement. The output device may then serve as an interface to statistical program packages such as SAS or SPSS. As an option, a SAS-macro that reads standard PUTDATA-files can be generated.

            13 DEMO Examples that illustrate program function
 
            - NVAR:     Number of variables to be processed (maximum
                        number is 32)
 
            - NOBS:     Number of observations to be processed (NOBS=0: read
                        to end of file)
 
            - XMIN:     Lower bound of variables
 
            - XMAX:     Upper bound of variables (XMIN=0 and XMAX=0: automatic
                        scaling; if XMIN and XMAX are explicitly specified
                        then outliers are automatically allocated to XMIN or
                        XMAX, whichever is appropriate)
 
            - DATA = 0: Plot parameters are set to defaults, no data processing
                   > 0: Logical unit number of input-device (valid numbers are
                        40-98)
 
            - MISS = m: Data records with variable values X = m are skipped
 
            - MODE = 0: Raw data are to be processed
                   = 1: Empirical frequencies are to be processed
                   = 2: Percentages are to be processed
 
            - NORM = 0: Normalization according to the maximum of each variable
                   = 1: Normalization according to the maximum of variable pairs
                   = 2: Normalization according to the maximum of all variables
                        variables
 
            - PMAX = 0: Normalization according to parameter NORM
                   = p: Normalization with respect to "p" if the value "p"
                        is larger than the value provided by parameter NORM
 
            - XFAC = x: Scale factor for plots in x-direction (standard=1)
 
            - YFAC = y: Scale factor for plots in y-direction (standard=1)
 
            - FORM:     Optional format-string for data input (F-format):
                        must be of FORTRAN-like form: FORM(format-string)
 
 
            - DEMO: Prepare speech parameters for SAS analyses
