PXQ – Saved Query for PX Files
1. General description
It is possible to save a PXQ file which contains information about the retrieval, editing and
calculation that has been recorded and reuse this by calling the PXFileBatch program.
A PXQ file selecting values from a PX file can look like this:
[Query]
Function=selvalues
[Files]
Infile=D:\databas\BE101ACE.px
Outfile=D:\databas\BE101ACEsel.px
Errorfile=D:\databas\betest.err
[Texts]
Text1=and
Text2=by
Text3=distributed
Text4=unit variable
[Var1]
Value1=elim
[Var2]
Value1=1
Value2=2
Value3=3
Value4=4
Value5=5
Value6=6
[Var3]
Value1=1
Value2=2
[Var4]
Value1=1
Value2=2
Value3=3
[Data]
NoOfVar=4
Secrecy=0
[Query]
Function=selvalues indicates what is to be done

PXQ file 11-3
__________________________________________________________________________
1.2. In common for pxq files
All pxq will have :
[Files]
Infile=
The PX file to read
Outfile=
The file to write, either a new PX file or some other format depending on function
Errorfile= A file where any messages can be found. Usually only “ended OK”
All PXQ files with functions that create new titles will have:
[Texts]
Text1=and
Text2=by
Text3=distributed
Text4=unit variable
All PXQ files with functions to convert to other file formats will have:
[Data]
Symbol1=.
Symbol2=..
Symbol3=...
Symbol4=....
Symbol5=.....
Symbol6=......
Symbol7=.......
Symbolnil=optional
Textfile=c:\pcaxis\pcaxisen.txt
PXQ file 11- 4
__________________________________________________________________________
2. Funtions to edit and calculate to a new px file
Depending on the function different information is needed as follows.
2.1. Select values
[Query]
Function=selvalues
pxlang=en
descr=0/1
One of the following:
TimeOpt=0 (selected time periods) - default
TimeOpt=1 (only last time period)
TimeOpt=2 (moving time interval)
TimeOpt=3 (fixed start and moving last time)
All variables that exist in the input file
[Var1]
Value1=elim this variable should be eliminated
[Var2]
Value1=1 these should be included
Value2=2
….
….
[Data]
NoOfVar=4 .. How many variables there are in the original PX file time included (help info
for the program)
Secrecy=0
No secrecy option apply
2.2. Select and aggregate values
[Query]
Function=aggvalues
classcat=C:\aggreg
descr=0/1
[Data]
NoOfVar=3
Secrecy=0
[Var1]
Value1=1
[Var2] this variable is to be aggregated
Value1=A;C:\aggreg\10-yearsclasses.agg;1
( A means use aggregation, file name with path, order of the value to use, here =1)
Value2=2 (the second value will be group 2)
Value3=3
PXQ file 11-5
__________________________________________________________________________
Value4=4
Value5=5
[Var3]
Value1=1
Value2=2
[Var4]
Value1=1
Value2=2
[Data]

for the program)
Secrecy=0
No secrecy option apply
