Data file type

This shows the way in which the data file is being treated.  It shows the three letters that are used for the extension for that file type, see Files, Data files.

If the file name has a recognised extension then it will be treated as that type.

TIP: If you are unsure whether the file name extension is correct you can use [Treatment] [Inspect file to determine file type] to see what type it appears to be from the contents.

File size

When a data file is opened or [View] [Refresh] is used the row and column numbers are replaced with:

•The total number of lines in the data file

•The number of columns (data locations) in the longest line in the file

If multiple lines per questionnaire is set then after [Collate] [Collate by serial number] is used the collated sizes are shown:

•The number of questionnaires (serial numbers) in the data file

•The number of columns (data locations) in the longest line after collating

If the mouse is positioned in the display these figures are replaced as above.

Contents at intersection

If the mouse is positioned in the data display then intersect lines appear.  These are a thin vertical line and two thin horizontal lines.

The character between the horizontal intersect line and to the right of the vertical intersect line is the one selected.  The status bar shows the information below for this column (data location) and the 9 following columns:

•The ten characters in these columns

•Ten binary equivalents, the codes for each column in turn are enclosed in square brackets

•Serial number for this line in the data

•Card number for this line in the data only if multiple lines per questionnaire is selected and not collated

•The column (data location)
