This section provides background information for checking that a run has worked. If you are already familiar with Quantum and SPSS, you can omit this section and go to Preparing the Quantum run.

The tab section of a Quantum run consists of tab statements defining the tables required, and axes which define the elements which will form the rows and columns of those table and the conditions under which a respondent is accepted into those elements.

qtspss takes this specification and uses the intermediate files created from it to generate an SPSS data file and data description file.
