To generate a value set for a numeric data item:
From the dictionary tree, select the desired item.
Right click on the view on the right, or select the Edit menu.
Select Generate Value Set. The following dialog box will appear.
Value Set Label: A descriptive text label for a collection of categories of an item. Used by the Tabulation module to select tabulation categories. This cannot be left blank.
Value Set Name: The name of this value for use in the CSPro language procedures.
From: The smallest value in the value set.
To: The largest value in the value set.
Interval: The size of the interval in each value range generated. For example, if 5 year age groups are desired, then the interval is 5. The interval must be greater than 0. If the interval is the smallest positive number that can be contained in the data item, then single values are produced.
Value Label Template: A model for descriptive text of each value or value range that is generated. The characters %s in the template are replaced by the from and to values for each value range. All other characters are output as entered.
