List Open End

Run|Open End provides a distribution of alpha/string variables.

Variables:

All alpha/string variables are listed and can be selected.
Variables defined in the Glossary using the DECLARE instruction are included in the Variable List if the Use glossary transformations option is enabled.
Variables defined in the Glossary using the DEFINE instruction with simple logic, (for example, DEFINE NEW_VAR = 1/75) are included in the Variable List if the Use glossary transformations option is enabled.
To select variables that are not contiguous, use the Ctrl key. To select multiple contiguous variables, use the Shift key.

Show abbreviated variable names

Displays the abbreviated variable names generated by WinCross (up to 11 characters).

Word wrap

Displays the Variable Label in word wrap mode. If your Variable Labels are long and you do not enable Word wrap, you can use the scroll bar to view the entire Variable Label. Word wrap is enabled as the default.

Find a variable

Allows you to enter search criteria to locate a specific variable. This is especially useful when there are many variables in your job file and you want to quickly locate a specific variable.

Find Next

Allows you to find the next variable that matches the previously entered search criteria. This is especially useful when there are multiple variables in your job file with similar variable names.

Data options

Use glossary transformations - when selected all glossary transformations will be applied to the open end report. For open ends this is meaningful when using DECLARE, DEFINE, or RECODE.

Run Filter

Value Filter

Using the value filter allows for filtering open end results based on specified text.

Example: Value "happy" will display all results that contain "happy" within the string variable.

When multiple value filters are added WinCross treats this as "OR" logic.

Example: when using value "happy" as the first filter and value "sad" as the second filter all results will be filtered down to strings that contain "happy" OR "sad" anywhere within the variable.

Cases to run:

By default, all cases/records will be displayed. Changing this value will display the specified number of cases.

Display options

Sort order: Choose between ascending and descending as the primary sort output.
Show Frequency - Displays the frequency for each open end.
Show Percent - Displays the percent for each open end based off total.
Show cell borders - Applies cell borders on the output.

Create Excel Report...

Excel output filename: Provide desired filename for Excel report. By default, the output will reside in the same directory as the job and data file.
Each variable on a sperate worksheet - When running multiple variables each variable will display on a seperate Excel worksheet.
All variables on one worksheet - When running multiple variables each variable will reside consecutively on the same Excel worksheet.

Note: Report uses Setup | Job Settings | Max data field width

The number of characters shown on the report are derived from Job Settings | Max data field width.
If a job file is not open, open WinCross will default to the maximum number of characters 32,767.
Job files created prior to WC21 have the Max data field width set to 12 characters. This can be adjusted under Job Settings | Max data field width. New job files will default to the maximum number of characters 32,767.

IMPORTANT: Once adjusted be sure to update any tables or banners that use a string variable as they will no longer be 12 characters.

Example: Table Q1, created with the 12 character limit displays as such:

After adjusting the character limit to be max, 32,767, recreating the table uses the full string:
