This specifies what part of the data record is to be used to classify persons for subtotal in Table 28.
PSUBTOTAL= file name
|
file containing details
|
PSUBTOTAL = *
|
in-line list
|
PSUBTOTAL = $S1W1
|
field in person label
|
With tab-separated data and the subtotal indicator in a separate field from the Person label, specify the subtotal field as the person label field using NAME1=, then PSUBTOTAL=$S1W1
Format 1: PSUBTOTAL = $S..W.. or $S..E.. using the column selection rules.
$S..W.. e.g., $S2W13 means that the label to be shown on the map starts in column 2 of the person label and is 13 columns wide.
$S..E.. e.g., $S3E6 means that the label to be shown on the map starts in column 3 of the person label and ends in column 6.
These can be combined, and constants introduced, e.g,
PSUBTOTAL=$S3W2+"/"+$S7W2
If the person label is "KH323MXTR", the sub-grouping will be shown as "32/XT"
Format 2: PSUBTOTAL=*
This is followed by a list of sub-groupings, each on a new line:
PSUBTOTAL=*
$S1W1+$S7W2 ; Subtotals reported for person classifications according to these columns
$S3E5 ; Subtotals reported for person classifications according to these columns
*
Example: Subtotal by first letter of person name:
PSUBTOTAL=$S1W1
TFILE=*
27 ; produce the subtotal report
*
Here is a subtotal report (Table 28) for person beginning with "R"

Example: You want an average score for each option on a multiple-choice test.
1. Include the item response string in the person label
Data record
Fred ABCDE
NI = 5
Item1=6
Name1=1
Namelength=10
2. Produce subtotals for every item
PSUBTOT=*
6 ; corresponds to Item 1

3. Specify Table 28
TFILE=*
