FIELDS subcommand (TCM MODEL command)
The FIELDS
subcommand specifies targets and
inputs for the current fields group block. Fields group blocks are created with the
FIELDSGROUP
subcommand
- All fields on the
FIELDS
subcommand, except those specified on theDIMVALUES
keyword, must be numeric. - Field lists that use the keyword
ALL
include all numeric fields in the active dataset with the following exceptions: fields specified on theTIMEVAR
keyword (on theDATASETTINGS
subcommand); fields created from theDATE
command. - For multidimensional data, all series that are contained in each specified field are
included by default. You can specify a subset of series by specifying particular sets of
values for one or more dimension fields on the
DIMVALUES
keyword.
- TARGETS
- Specifies target fields for the current fields group block.
- INPUTS
- Specifies inputs that are considered for
inclusion in the model for each target in the current fields group block.
- Fields specified on the
INPUTS
keyword can also be specified on theTARGETS
keyword. - The model for each target automatically contains lagged values of the target itself as an input.
- Fields specified on the
- FORCE
- Specifies fields that are always included as
inputs in the model for each target in the current fields group block. Specifications on
the
FORCE
keyword override those on theINPUTS
andEXCLUDEDINPUTS
keywords in the current fields group block. - EXCLUDEDTARGETS
- Specifies fields that are excluded from the
specified targets in the current fields group block. The
EXCLUDEDTARGETS
keyword is most useful whenALL
orTO
is used on theTARGETS
keyword. - EXCLUDEDINPUTS
- Specifies fields that are excluded from the
specified inputs in the current fields group block. The
EXCLUDEDINPUTS
keyword is most useful whenALL
orTO
is used on theINPUTS
keyword. - DIMVALUES
- Specifies optional lists of dimension field
values that define a subset of series for fields specified in all keywords on the current
FIELDS
subcommand. TheDIMVALUES
keyword applies only to multidimensional data.- The
INCLUDE
orEXCLUDE
keyword is required. INCLUDE
specifies a list of values, from the associated dimension field, to include.EXCLUDE
specifies a list of values, from the associated dimension field, to exclude.- You can specify included or excluded values for one or more dimension fields. For
dimension fields that are not specified on
DIMVALUES
, all values of the associated field are included. - Fields that are specified on the
DIMVALUES
keyword do not supportALL
andTO
. - String values do not need to be quoted, unless the string contains apostrophes or quotation marks. If the string contains apostrophes or single quotes, then enclose the string in double quotes. If the string contains double quotes, then enclose the string in single quotes.
