Split Files (PROXIMITIES command)

  • When split-file processing is in effect, the first variables in the matrix system file are the split variables, followed by ROWTYPE_, the case-identifier variable (if VIEW=CASE and ID are used), VARNAME_, and the variables that form the matrix.
  • A full set of matrix materials is written for each split-file group that is defined by the split variables.
  • A split variable cannot have the same name as any other variable that is written to the matrix data file.
  • If split-file processing is in effect when a matrix is written, the same split file must be in effect when that matrix is read by any procedure.
