OUTFILE Subcommand (MLP command)

The OUTFILE subcommand saves XML-format (PMML) files containing the synaptic weights. You can use this model file to apply the model information to other data files for scoring purposes. See the topic Scoring expressions for more information.

• Filenames must be specified in full. MLP does not supply extensions.
• The MODEL keyword is not honored if split-file processing is in effect (see SPLIT FILE). If this keyword is specified when split-file processing is on, a warning is displayed.

MODEL = 'file' 'file'…. Writes the synaptic weights to XML (PMML) files. Specify one or more unique, valid filenames. There should be as many filenames as there are dependent variables, and the names should be listed in the order of the dependent variables on the command line. If you do not specify enough filenames, then an error is issued. If you specify too many filenames, then any remaining names are ignored.

If any 'file' specification refers to an existing file, then the file is overwritten. If any 'file' specifications refer to the same file, then only the last instance of this 'file' specification is honored.
