INSTAT Read Options
This dialog controls the column names used by GenStat and how the 3 missing
values in an Instat worksheet file are interpreted when reading this file into
GenStat. Also you can just import a subset of the columns in the Instat
file.
Converted to 8 unique characters
The Instat columns names are to be renamed to unique GenStat names no more
than 8 characters long. For example the names LongName1 and LongName2 would be
renamed to LongName, LongNam1.
Full names used
The full Instat column names will be used.
Default Instat names (X1,X2...)
The default Instat names of X1, X2, X3 will be used in the GenStat
spreadsheet. The Instat column names will be put in the Column description.
Select columns to be imported
A dialog will be put up that can allow you to specify which columns are
to be imported from the Instat file.
The following radio button in the Missing value box allow you to specify
how the Instat missing values are to be imported.
Missing
The Instat missing value will be interpreted as a GenStat missing value.
Ignored
The Instat missing value will be interpreted as the numerical value used in
Instat. For example an Instat missing value of -999 will just be read in as
-999.
Read in as
The Instat missing value will be converted to the specified numerical value
given in the subsequent edit box.

Read in the Instat file with the options as set.
Cancel
Do do read in the Instat file.
