TFILE= causes the specified Tables to be written into the report output file. It is has no effect on the Output Tables menus.
TFILE= file name
|
file containing details
|
TFILE = *
|
in-line list which ends with *
|
TFILE = ?
|
opens a Browser window to find the TFILE= file
|
TFILE= contents
|
Table number, such as
22
|
All standard subtables for the Table are output. Table 0 is the iteration report
|
Table and subtable number, such as
3.1
|
Only the specified subtable is output. Every subtable can be reported individually.
|
Table and subtable range, such as
23.11-33 (which means 23.11 - 23.33)
|
All subtables in the specified range of subtables are output
|
Table and subtable open-ended range, such as
23.11+
21.0+
|
All subtables numbered equal to, or higher than the specified subtable are output
|
Control instruction = value, such as
OFILE=report1.txt
PSELECT={MF}
|
All instructions active in the Specification menu dialog box can be included. These instructions become active when Winsteps reaches them in processing TFILE= after estimation has completed.
|
Control instruction = output file name with suffix, such as
SCOREFILE = myscorefile.txt
IADD=Yes
GRFILE = mygraphfile.rdata
|
The output files are created but not displayed. They can be displayed from the Edit menu. These instructions become active when Winsteps reaches them in processing TFILE= after estimation has completed.
|
Example 1: In this example, 3 report output files will be written. These include two versions of Table 2.2.
TFILE=*
OFILE=table1report.txt
1 ; output Table 1
OFILE=table2.2report.txt
2.2 ; output Table 2,2
OFILE=table2.2breport.txt
MRANGE=5
2.2 ; output Table 2.2
MRANGE= ; to cancel the MRANGE=5 instruction
*
|
Example 2: A DIF subtable is output in a format more suitable for processing by other software
TFILE=*
DIF=$S1W2
BOXSHOW=No
HEADER=No
OFILE=difoutput.txt
30.1

TABLES= selects the tables in a fixed sequence, and prints only one copy. TFILE= allows the analyst to print multiple copies of tables to different specifications. TFILE= specifies the name of an input ASCII file. Each line of the file contains a table number or table number.sub-table and other control parameters, separated by blanks or commas. Unused control values are specified with "-". The list may be entered directly into the control file with TFILE=* (see Example 2).
TFILE= Parameters:
|
Control variable = Value
|
The Control Variables allowed in the Specification Menu dialog box are can be entered here for immediate action.
Example: TITLE="My Report"
|
Output Table selection: (enter unused parameters with "-" or ".")

TFILE= Table number selection
|
Table number, for example
15
|
selects the Table and all its Subtables
|
|
Table number.Subtable number
For example:
6.4
|
selects only the Table's Subtable
|
For each Subtable request, Winsteps regenerates all the required Table information. For example,
TFILE=*
23.3 ; performs Table 23 PCA analysis then reports Table 23.3
23.4 ; performs Table 23 PCA analysis then reports Table 23.4
|
Table number.Subtable number+
For example:
18.3+
|
select the specified Subtable and all following Subtables, if any.
|
|
6.2, 10.2, 13.2, 14.2, 15.2, 17.2, 18.2, 19.2, 25.2, 26.2
|
selects the specified Subtable with CHART=Yes
|
|
10.3, 13.3, 14.3, 15.3, 25.3, 26.3
|
selects the specified Subtable with
DISTRACTORS=YES
|
|
3.3
|
STEPT3.NE.'Y'
|
|
Example 1: The analyst wishes to select and print several tables:
TFILE=TABLES.TF
TABLES.TF is a DOS (ASCII) file with the following lines:
|
; Table number
|
Low Range
|
High Range
|
Columns per unit
|
Sort on column
|
|
2
|
|
|
|
|
; print Tables 2.1, 2.2, 2.3
|
10.2
|

|

|
|
|
; print Table 10.2 with fit bars at 0.5 and 1.5
|

|
|
|
; print Table 8 with range -5 to +5 logits

|
|
|
; range -2 to +7 logits, 10 columns per logit
|

or enter directly into the control file,
TFILE=*

10.2
8 -5 5
9 -2 7 10
9 -5 5 10
15 - - - 4
*
Example 2: Analyst wishes to specify on the DOS control line, Table 15 sorted on item name column 4. Values are separated by commas, because blanks act as end-of-line separators.
C:>Winsteps SF.TXT SFO.TXT TFILE=* 15,-,-,-,4 *
Example 3: To output the empirical Keyforms in Table 17.3, etc.:
TFILE=*
17.3
*
Example 4: multiple tables from one line in SAS or similar:
a="TFILE=";
output
a="0.3,1,3.1,10.1,13.1,14.1,20,25.1";
b = tranwrd(a,',','0d0a'x);
output
a="*";
output
Example 5: Multiple Wright maps showing different subsets of items:
TFILE=*
; MTOP= and other Wright map control instructions here
LINELENGTH = 30 ; to keep each map narrow
IMAP=1W3 ; first 3 characters of the item label
ISELECT=W ; select item labels starting with W
1.2 ; output Table 1.2
ISELECT=R ; select item labels starting with R
1.2 ; output Table 1.2
*
