Weighting, accumulation and manipulation
The weight, accumulation and manipulation programs cannot be run separately.
The weighting program, weight, weights records according to the figures given in your Quantum program file. If the run has no weighting, the weighting program is ignored.
The accumulation program, accum, builds a file containing the cell values for each table.
If your job uses row or table manipulation, Quantum runs a program called manip. This carries out your manipulation requests and creates a second file of cell values. Note that this file contains values for all tables whether or not they are the result of manipulation.
You cannot run the weighting, accumulation or manipulation stages in any way except as part of a complete Quantum run.
Files created
Quantum creates the following files, amongst others, during these stages:
weightrp
Summary report of weighting
nums
Unmanipulated cell values
nums.man
Final cell values for tables
