Wow!
Thanks a lot. I am going to try to decipher your code and hope you will
not mind me asking questions later.
>>It's a bit hard to give good suggestions if I do not understand the
data. Are all the data yearly like the stuff in page6.prn?
The data are bunch of report files, the format of which is a combination of
the report files represented in pages 6 and 7 (copies attached).
So a table will have the following:
- a page number of the form (# {Release}, {date}). E.g.: 6
Z.1, March 4, 2004
- 2 title lines
-- D.1 Debt Growth by Sector
-- In percent; quarterly figures are seasonally adjusted annual rates
- a variable number of column header (what I call major #1, major #2, major
#3, ....)
where major N-1 is a parent of major N (N=2, 3, 4, ..)
and major N represents an atomic column header A, B, C, .... (e.g.,
Total, government, nonfederal ...... Corporate)
- data lines (which could either be of the format {date} {value for column
A} {value for column B} ....
