Section 8.  Working with Data Files on the PC 

Split’s default output file, a field-separated ASCII format with a *.PRN file 
extension, can be processed a second time if desired. 

TABLE 8–1 provides an example of Comma Separated, Field Formatted, 
Printable ASCII, and Table Oriented ASCII input file types.  The data in the 
various formats are identical.  Each line of data represents an “Output Array”, 
starting with an Output Array ID (in this case 115).  Each data point in the 
Output Array is referred to as an “element”.  The element number is given in 
the Printable ASCII format, and implied in the other formats.  Data presented 
in TABLE 8–1 is used for example purposes in the following sections.
