The "fine manual" entry for WRITE (under MATRIX - END MATRIX) is a bit short
on examples, and the /FIELD sub-command is somewhat confusing. But the
following seems to work okay.
data list list / var1 to var3 (3f5.0).
begin data
1 7 13
2 8 14
3 9 15
4 10 16
5 11 17
6 12 18
end data.
MATRIX.
GET X /VARIABLES VAR1.
WRITE RESHAPE(x,3,2)
/OUTFILE = 'C:\temp\neu.txt'
/FIELD = 1 TO 10 BY 5
/FORMAT = f5.0.
Print x.
Print RESHAPE(x,3,2).
END MATRIX.
Cheers,
Bruce
