NAMLEN= length of person label = (calculated)

Use this if too little or too much person-id information is printed in your output tables.

 

NAMLEN= allows you define the length of the person-id name with a value in the range of 1 to 30 characters. This value overrides the value obtained according to the rules which are used to calculate the length of the person-id. These rules are:

1) Maximum person-id length is 300 characters

2) Person-id starts at column NAME1=

3) Person-id ends at ITEM1= or end of data record.

4) If NAME1= equals ITEM1= then length is 30 characters.

 

Example 1: The 9 characters including and following NAME1= are the person's Social Security number, and are to be used as the person-id.

 NAMLEN=9

 

Example 2: We want to show the responses in Example0.txt as the person label to help diagnose the fit statistics:

 ITEM1 = 1 

 NI = 25

 NAME1 = 1

 NAMLEN = 25
