PSORT= column within person label for alphabetical sort in Table 19 = 1

Table 19 lists persons alphabetically. Table 1 and Table 16 list them alphabetically within lines. Ordinarily, the whole person name is used. Select the sorting columns in the person labels using the column selection rules, e.g., starting in column Snn and ending in column Enn or of width Wnn.

 

Example 1: The person name is entered in the data file starting in column 20. It is a 6-digit student number followed by a blank and then gender identification in column 8 of the person name. Sort by gender identification for Table 19, then by student number.

NAME1=20

NAMLEN=8  ; student number + gender

PSORT=$S8W1+$S8W6 alphabetical sort on gender

TABLES=1111111111111111111111111

Example 2: The person name contains several important classifiers. Table 19 is needed for each one:

NAME1=14 Person name starts in column 14

ITEM1=24 Response start in column 24

TFILE=*

19 - - - 1 sort starts with column 1 of person name

19 - - - 8 sort starts with column 8 of person name

19 - - - 6 sort starts with column 6 of person name up to the end of the person name

     - entered as place-holders, see TFILE=

Example 3: A version of Table 19, sorted on person name column 6, is to be specified on the DOS command line or on the Extra Specifications line. Commas are used as separators, and "-" as place-holders:
