Appendix F
Examples of Tables Created Using SETS
The following are examples of the table building function that can be
constructed under the menu heading, "Table." These detailed table
examples
are specific to the National Hospital Discharge Survey. They are being
provided to illustrate the various types of table construction that can
be
generated using data from the two files within this data set (newborn
data and
non-newborn data). Users are encouraged to review the general
instructions
accompanying the CD-ROM prior to constructing these tables.
Table Examples
----------------------------------------------------------------------------EXAMPLE A:
Total Discharges by Four Age Groups and Sex.

4. Press ENTER to display the window that lists all files available in
the
set. Use the arrow keys to position the cursor under NHDS94AL.DAT and
press
ENTER. This action highlights this data file. Press F10 to accept and
load
the data file.
5. At the screen -"Establishing a new record subset for file
NHDS94AL.DAT,"
type the word "All" and press ENTER.
6. Press F5 to weight the statistics within the table. Use the arrow
keys
to move the cursor to "WGT" (discharge weight). Press ENTER to select
the
weight.
7. Press F2 to edit the table expression (Note: the "Edit" table
expression
is located at the bottom of the screen).
8. Type: ager (<15, 15 to 44, 45 to 64, >= 65), sex
The field AGER has values from 00 (less than 1 year) to 99 (ages 99 and
over).
By typing this expression, SETS will recode the variables into the four
age
groupings. This can be done for any age groupings you desire.
9. Press F8 for the extended table options. Move the cursor with the
down
arrow key until the option "labels" is reached and type a "Y" to select.
This option places item descriptions in the table. Press F10 to accept
the
"labels" option.
10. Press ENTER to activate the SETS program. The complete table
expression will be shown in the upper left hand corner, followed by the
actual
statistical table generated by the program.
