Statistics
– maximum number of:
Frequency
– maximum number of:
- Fields/Variables per run: 1000
- Field width for numeric or alphanumeric
fields: 12
Combine,
sort and merge card image files – maximum number of:
- Input records: 400 per respondent
(or 65,536 characters)
- Output records: 400 per respondent
(or 32,768 characters)
Factor
Analysis – maximum number of:
- Variables in one Factor Analysis run: 150
- Factor groups: 99 (default
99)
- Characters
per label: 72
Sample
Balancing – maximum number of:
- Code values and target percents:
20
- Fields/Variables for weighting: 10
- Code values in a range: 99
Sample
Balancing allows up to 10 variables, with up to 20
numeric Code values
(levels) per variable. The total number of combinations cannot
exceed 50 million. You can calculate the number of combinations
by multiplying the number of code values for the 1st variable
by the number of code values for the 2nd variable by the number
of code values for the 3rd variable, etc. For example, if you
are working with variables that have 6 code values each, up to
9 of these variables can be analyzed at the same time, because
6 to the 9th power is less than 50 million. |
Sample Balancing/Simple Weighting
– minimum number of:
- Width of Field/Variable to write
weight (characters): 5
Weights
– maximum number of:
** WinCross
logic using variable names is converted to record/column location when
evaluating the length. In most cases the 1024 character logic limit when
converted to record/column location will be different than the original
number of characters using variables names. If the record/column location
conversion results in more than 1024 characters, a syntax error will be
issued indicating the logic is more than 1024 characters.
