Index

The index containing the title of all the observations in an input file is read when the file is opened. Starting with the use of CLASSIC , and to allow files with a larger number of observations or records, the version 2 of files uses 8-bytes integers wherever needed. In addition, with version 2, observations do not have to start at the beginning of a record, so no space is left blank in the file. Table 1 describes the content of an observation title.
