Run Consolidate Interactively

The Consolidation process reads the table matrix file(s) output from Tabulate process, and produces another table matrix file (*.TAB) based on consolidation specifications given in the tabulation application.

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

Input TAB: The tabulated table matrices file(s) to be consolidated. Multiple input *.TAB files can be selected using the browse button. The *.TAB extension is required.

Output TAB: The consolidated table matrices file created [or replaced] from the input TAB file(s). This TAB name must be different from the input name and the extension is required.

Listing File: The report generated for the run showing area codes found in the data and tables available for those codes. Blank 'codes' indicate summary levels. The .LST extension is not required.

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