MGET Statement: Reading Matrix Data Files (MATRIX-END MATRIX command)

MGET reads a matrix-format data file. MGET puts the data it reads into separate matrix variables. It also names these new variables automatically. The syntax of MGET is as follows:

MGET [ [/] FILE = file reference]
  [/TYPE = {COV   }]
           {CORR  }
           {MEAN  }
           {STDDEV}
           {N     }
           {COUNT }
  • Since MGET assigns names to the matrices it reads, do not specify matrix names on the MGET statement.
