TABLES= output tables

For more flexibility, use the Output Tables pull-down menu.

 

Tables= causes the specified Tables to be written into the report output file. It is has no effect on the pull-down menus.

 

A character string that tells Winsteps which output tables to prepare for printing. The sequence number of the "1" or "0" in the TABLES= string matches the table number. For more elaborate table selection, use TFILE=.

 

"1" means prepare the corresponding table.

"0" or anything else means do not prepare the corresponding table.

 

TABLES= is processed after TFILE= so that control variables in TFILE= are active for TABLES=

 

TABLE 0 is appended to the end of the TABLES= output except if TFILE= is also specified.

 

Example 1: You want only Tables 2,4,6,8,10 and 20 to be prepared

  TABLES=010101010100000000001000

 

This is the same as specifying:

TFILE=*

2

4

6

8

10

20

*

 

Example 2: You want only Tables 1-4.

  TABLES=1111
