Ending the OMS Requests

Before you can use the generated dataset, you need to end the OMS request that created it, because the dataset remains open for writing until you end the OMS request. At that point, the basic job of creating the dataset of sample coefficients is complete, but we've added some histograms and a table that displays the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles values of the bootstrapped coefficient values, which indicate the 95% confidence intervals of the coefficients.

• OMSEND without any additional specifications ends all active OMS requests. In this example, there were two: one to suppress all Viewer output and one to save regression coefficients in a data file. If you don't end both OMS requests, either you won't be able to open the data file or you won't see any results of your subsequent analysis.
• The job ends with a RESTORE command that restores your previous SET specifications.
