Run Filter

You can add a Run Filter to your tables (Run|ExpressTabs or Run|Tables), frequency (Run Frequency) or marginal (Run|Marginal) processing.

Enter a Filter Title (optional).
The Filter Title appears under the Job Title or at the top of the page if no Job Title is specified and uses the justification selected for Job Title (Setup|Job Title).
Filter titles can have up to 480 characters on up to 4 lines. Text automatically wraps, but you can specify where the text will wrap by entering multiple lines in the Filter Title window. Pipe symbols (|) are inserted in the filter title of the job file (View|Job File) automatically when multiple lines are entered. Keep in mind that regardless of how many characters you enter on each line, text will wrap based on the Table title width specified on the Table Presentation tab of Setup|Job Settings for Plain Text Reports or on the Enhanced Text Reports tab of Setup|Job Settings for Enhanced Text Reports. For example, if you enter 50 characters on the first line and 50 characters on the second line and your table title width is set at 40, the text will wrap at 40 characters and then wrap again at the end of the first line, then wrap at 40 characters from the second line and again for the remaining 10 characters of the second line, resulting in 4 lines of row text. Alternatively, you can specify where words should break by inserting a pipe symbol (|) at the point where you want the break to occur.
Enter the Filter Logic.
The Filter Logic restricts the processing to those cases that meet this condition.
The Filter Logic can be simple or complex and can be up to 1024 characters.

Note: For Variable data the Filter Logic can be either record/column location or variable name. For ASCII data the Filter Logic is record/column location. Filter Logic for a Run Filter should not use Indexed variables (for example I10 (1-5)).

The Run Filter is active check box can be used to remove the Run Filter without removing the Filter Title and Filter Logic that was previously entered. This allows you to reuse the Filter Title and Filter Logic if desired.

IMPORTANT: When a Run Filter has been specified and the Run Filter is active check box is selected, the Run Filter will be applied to all subsequent processing of tables, frequencies and/or marginals. For example, if you add a Run Filter to your table processing using Run|Tables and then select Run|Frequency, the Run Filter check box will be selected because the Run Filter is still active. To remove the Run Filter, deselect the Run Filter is active check box on the Run Filter dialog.
