OUTFILE Subcommand (CSORDINAL command)

The OUTFILE subcommand saves an external IBM® SPSS® Statistics data file or previously declared dataset containing the parameter covariance or correlation matrix with parameter estimates, standard errors, significance values, and sampling design degrees of freedom. It also saves the parameter estimates and the parameter covariance matrix in XML format.

• At least one keyword and a filename are required.
• The COVB and CORB keywords are mutually exclusive, as are the MODEL and PARAMETER keywords.
• The filename must be specified in full. CSORDINAL does not supply an extension.
