David and others,
thanks for your suggestions. I tried adapting your code but I must be missing something with the LOOP in MATRIX procedure. I keep getting an undefined error. My file structure is wide, rather than tall so all 6 vars are on the same line for each sample, but I don't think that is the problem. I think it is with the LOOP because I can't even get the code to print 3 R mtxs. Here is the set up for the first 3 of 10,000 samples.
DATA LIST FREE/rYX1 rYX2 rYpdct rX1X2 rX1pdct rX2pdct SAMPLE_.
BEGIN DATA.
.59 .41 .71 -.05 .67 .70 1.00
.49 .35 .62 -.06 .79 .55 2.00
.55 .38 .67 -.06 .78 .56 3.00
END DATA.
MATRIX.
GET data/FILE=*.
LOOP i=1 TO NROW(data).
COMPUTE R=MAKE(4,4,1).
COMPUTE R(2,1)=data(1).
COMPUTE R(3,1)=data(2).
COMPUTE R(4,1)=data(3).
COMPUTE R(3,2)=data(4).
COMPUTE R(4,2)=data(5).
COMPUTE R(4,3)=data(6).
COMPUTE R(1,2)=data(1).
COMPUTE R(1,3)=data(2).
COMPUTE R(1,4)=data(3).
COMPUTE R(2,3)=data(4).
COMPUTE R(2,4)=data(5).
COMPUTE R(3,4)=data(6).
PRINT R.
SAVE {I,DET(R)} /OUTFILE='DETS.SAV' /VARIABLES=SAMPLE_ DET.
END LOOP.
END MATRIX.
Any further insight would be appreciated.
Jason
