Dataplot Vol 1 Vol 2

NAME TABLE

Name:
    NAME TABLE (PROBE)
Type:
    Set Subcommand
Purpose:
    Extract information about Dataplot's internal name table.
Description:
    This command is used to display the current status of the internal Dataplot name table. The name table includes the names of all variables, parameters, strings, functions, and matrices.

    This command is primarily of interest to the Dataplot developers for debugging purposes. However, it can be used by any Dataplot user. This command is not supported for the SET command (i.e., you cannot use it to modify the name table).

    Specifically, this command returns the following information

      I - the index number
      IHNAME(I) - characters 1 to 4 of the I-th name
      IHNAM2(I) - characters 5 to 8 of the I-th name
      IN(I) - for variable names, this contains the number of observations for the variable. For parameters and strings, this value should be either 0 or 1.
      VALUE(I) - for parameters, this is the value of the parameter. For strings and user defined variables, this should be 0. For the internally defined variables (PRED, RES, YPLOT, XPLOT, X2PLOT, and TAGPLOT), it defines the column in the data workspace.
