Abstract:
DAPHNE is a programming language for file analysis. Most of the operations currently used in file analysis can be easily programmed in DAPHNE. Among these operations are percentages, valuation, selection, editing and output of the results. This paper aims at describing the general features of this language and of the associated data processing. It also shows the value of such a tool for all firms, irrespective of whether they are specialists in survey analysis and file manipulation.
