FORMAT Subcommand (MATRIX DATA command)

FORMAT indicates how the matrix data are formatted. It applies only to matrix values in the data, not to vector values, such as the mean and standard deviation.

  • FORMAT can specify up to three keywords: one to specify the data-entry format, one to specify matrix shape, and one to specify whether the data include diagonal values.
  • The minimum specification is a single keyword.
  • Default settings remain in effect unless explicitly overridden.
