MATRIX Subcommand (RELIABILITY command)
MATRIX
reads
and writes IBM® SPSS® Statistics matrix data
files.
- Either
IN
orOUT
and the matrix file in parentheses are required. When bothIN
andOUT
are used on the sameRELIABILITY
procedure, they can be specified on separateMATRIX
subcommands or on the same subcommand. - If both
IN
andOUT
are used on the sameRELIABILITY
command and there are grouping variables in the matrix input file, these variables are treated as if they were split variables. Values of the grouping variables in the input matrix are passed on to the output matrix (see Split Files (RELIABILITY command)).
OUT ('savfile'|'dataset'). Write a matrix
data file or dataset. Specify either a filename, a previously
declared dataset name, or an asterisk, enclosed in parentheses. Filenames
should be enclosed in quotes and are stored in the working directory
unless a path is included as part of the file specification. If you
specify an asterisk (*), the matrix data file replaces the active
dataset. If you specify an asterisk or a dataset name, the file is
not stored on disk unless you use SAVE
or XSAVE
.
IN ('savfile'|'dataset'). Read a matrix data file or dataset. Specify either a filename, dataset name created during the current session, or an asterisk enclosed in parentheses. An asterisk reads the matrix data from the active dataset. Filenames should be enclosed in quotes and are read from the working directory unless a path is included as part of the file specification.
