OUTFILE Subcommand (GENLINMIXED command)

The OUTFILE subcommand saves random effects predictions (empirical best linear unbiased predictions, or EBLUPs) to one or more .sav files or dataset.

MODEL = 'file'. Writes the fixed effects portion of the model to an external .zip file. You can use this model file to apply the model information to other data files for scoring purposes. For more information, see Scoring expressions. Specify a unique, valid filename. If the file specification refers to an existing file, then the file is overwritten.

EBLUPS('savfile' | dataset). Saves the EBLUPs specified on any RANDOM subcommands via the SOLUTION keyword to external .sav files or datasets. If no SOLUTION=TRUE specifications appear on RANDOM subcommands, a warning is issued and this subcommand has no effect.

FILE_SEPARATE = {FALSE**} {TRUE} . If multiple sets of EBLUPs are specified by multiple RANDOM subcommands with SOLUTION keywords, the command controls whether the tables of results are combined into a single file or dataset (the default), or saved to separate files or datasets. If TRUE is specified, the results of each table are saved to a separate file or dataset, with “_#” appended to the savfile or dataset name that is specified by the user (# is the number of the EBLUPs table for each individual file or dataset)
