OUTFILE subcommand (TCM APPLY command)

MODELSYSTEM
Saves the model system, which is associated with reestimated model parameters, to a compressed file archive (.zip file). The model system file can be reused by this procedure. It can also be used by the TCM ANALYSISprocedure to run scenario analysis. The keyword is ignored if REESTIMATE=NO on the OPTIONS subcommand.
DATA
Specifies the name of a file or a previously declared dataset where new variables that are specified on the SAVE subcommand are written, along with any transformations of the data (such as aggregation or imputation of missing values).
  • Date/time values in the saved data are aligned to the beginning of each time interval, such as the first of the month, and represent the time interval at which the data were modeled. For example, if the observations are daily but the data are aggregated to months then date/time values in the saved data represent months.
  • Enclose file specifications in quotation marks and use fully qualified paths to avoid ambiguity. You can use an asterisk (*) to specify that the data is written to the active dataset, replacing the current active dataset.
