SPSS® 12.0 Command Syntax Reference

CSPLAN 351
• A PLAN subcommand is required that specifies a file whose specifications are to be displayed.
Operations
• If a sample design is created the procedure automatically writes a suitable analysis design
to the plan file. The default analysis design specifies stratification variables and cluster
variables for each stage as well as an estimation method appropriate for the chosen extraction
method.
• CSPLAN writes design specifications in XML format.
• By default CSPLAN displays output that summarizes the sample or analysis design.
Syntax Rules
General
• PLAN, PLANVARS, and PRINT are global. Only a single instance of each global subcommand
is allowed.
• Within a subcommand an error occurs if a keyword or attribute is specified more than
once.
• Equals signs shown in the syntax chart are required.
• Subcommand names and keywords (e.g., PPS_WR) must be spelled in full.
• In general empty subcommands (i.e., those that have no specifications) generate an error.
DESIGN is the only subcommand that can be empty.
• Any variable names that are specified must be valid SPSS variable names.
Creating a Plan
• Stages are specified in design blocks. The DESIGN subcommand signals the start of a
block. The first block corresponds to stage 1, the second to stage 2, and the third to stage
3. One DESIGN subcommand must be specified per stage.
• The following subcommands are local and apply to the immediately preceding DESIGN
subcommand: METHOD, MOS, SIZE, RATE, STAGEVARS, ESTIMATOR, POPSIZE, IN-
CLPROB. An error occurs if any of these subcommands appears more than once within a
block.
• Available METHOD and ESTIMATOR options depend on the stage.
• The following subcommands are honored only if a sample design is requested: METHOD,
MOS, SIZE, RATE, and STAGEVARS. An error occurs if any of these subcommands is specified
for an analysis design.
• MOS can be specified in stage one only.
