Run Format Interactively

The Format process reads the table matrix file(s) output from Tabulate or Consolidations process, and produces tables files (*.TBW) based on format specifications given in the tabulation application.

When the Format process is selected, the following files are requested:

Input TAB: The tabulated or consolidated matrices file. If application does not have area processing, it was created in the Tabulate process, if it has area processing was performed, it was created in the Consolidate process. The .TAB extension is required.

Area Names: Only used for applications with area processing. An Area Names File is used to associate the areas codes in the TAB file with their descriptive text. The .ANM extension is required.

Output TBW: The CSPro Table Viewer file created by merging the matrices from the input TAB file, the table format specifications from the tabulations application, and the optional area names. The .TBW extension is required.

Listing File: The report of the Format process.

This is a sample of a listing file for a Format process:
