SEQUENCE Keyword (OMS command)
SEQUENCE
is an alternative to DIMNAMES
that uses positional arguments. These positional arguments do not
vary based on output language or output display settings. The SEQUENCE
keyword must be followed by an
equals sign (=) and a list of positional arguments enclosed in square
brackets.
- The general form of a positional argument is a letter
indicating the default position of the element--
C
for column,R
for row, orL
for layer--followed by a positive integer indicating the default position within that dimension. For example,R1
would indicate the outermost row dimension element. - A letter indicating the default dimension followed
by
ALL
indicates all elements in that dimension in their default order. For example,RALL
would indicate all row dimension elements, andCALL
by itself would be unnecessary since it would not alter the default arrangement of the table.ALL
cannot be combined with positional sequence numbers in the same dimension. -
SEQUENCE=[CALL RALL LALL]
will put all dimension elements in the columns. WithFORMAT=SAV
, this will result in one case per table in the data file.
Example
OMS
/SELECT TABLES
/IF COMMANDS = ['Regression'] SUBTYPES = ['Coefficient Correlations']
/DESTINATION FORMAT = SAV OUTFILE = '/mydir/myfile.sav'
/COLUMNS SEQUENCE = [R1 R2].
