FILE Specification (MATRIX-END MATRIX command)
FILE
designates
a matrix-format data file. See MATRIX DATA for a discussion of matrix-format data files. To designate the active dataset (if it is a matrix-format data file),
use an asterisk, or simply omit the FILE
specification.
- The file reference can be either a filename enclosed
in quotes or a file handle defined on a
FILE HANDLE
command that precedes the matrix program. The file reference cannot be the name of a dataset in the current session. - Both dataset references and physical file specifications are supported.
- The same matrix-format data file can be read more than once.
- If you omit the
FILE
specification, the current active dataset is used. -
MGET
ignores theSPLIT FILE
command when reading the active dataset. It does honor the split-file groups that were in effect when the matrix-format data file was created. - The maximum number of split-file groups that can be read is 99.
- The maximum number of cells that can be read is 99.
