Variables tab (Data grid)

 

The Variables tab contains the descriptions and attributes for each variable of the data file. Columns are the variable attributes and the rows are the variables.

 

You can add and delete variables. You can change the attributes of variables:

Note: When a variable-type data file is opened in WinCross, if there are variables that exceed 12 characters in length, WinCross will use the leftmost 12 characters for programming and computational purposes. The Internal WinCross Location:Width information that displays on the Data File Information dialog (View|Data File Information) reflects this internal format and may be different from the actual variable width displayed here on the Variables tab of the data grid. For purposes of WinCross programming (for example, using LOC+), the Internal WinCross Location:Width of View|Data File Information should be used for determining variable location and width.
