The data element specifies how data is recorded in the data file.

Syntax

<data dataname>
/ columns = [columnname, columnname, columnname, columnname, columnname, columnname, columnname, columnname]
/ encrypt = true("password") or false
/ file = "location"
/ format = dataformat
/ header = boolean
/ labels = boolean
/ password = "string"
/ userid = "string"
</data>

Properties

None.

Remarks

The data element allows customization of data recording, including specifying which data is recorded, the format of the data file, and the location where the data are saved. If no data element is defined, Inquisit uses a default data recording scheme.

Examples
