Can I access data from existing Scrollsheets in STATISTICA BASIC and do “follow-up analyses”?
Yes, you can also easily write procedures to manage existing Scrollsheets. This includes not only global operations (e.g., save, open, print Scrollsheets), but Scrollsheets can also be used for input. Specifically, you can read data from existing Scrollsheets created by other STATISTICA procedures, and thus your BASIC programs can be designed to “continue” or “follow up” on analyses completed by other procedures of STATISTICA. For example, you can write procedures to further analyze frequency data from a crosstabulation or from complex sequences of means displayed in a multiple-classification table; you can analyze output from Monte Carlo procedures, or just rearrange the layout of an existing Scrollsheet (e.g., by reading its contents into a BASIC data array and then writing them to new, custom-designed Scrollsheets); you can merge or split Scrollsheets, save them as STATISTICA datasets, Scrollsheet files, or ASCII files. Like all other functions in STATISTICA BASIC, all Scrollsheet f
