Data Transformations

CAPITL Computes a capital stock from an investment series CONVERT Changes a series from one frequency to a new frequency COPY Makes a copy of a variable with a new name DELETE Marks variables for removal from the symbol table DIVIND computes Divisia price and quantity indices DUMMY Creates dummy (zero/one) variables GENR Generates a new series using general transformations LENGTH Determines the length of a list LIST Gives a single name to a list of TSP variables NORMAL Normalize a series (usually an index) to a given value in one period RANDOM Random number generator RENAME Changes the name of a variable SAMA Seasonal adjustment by moving average SET Stores a new scalar or subscripted var. using general transformations SORT Sorts one or more series or computes rank ordering TREND Creates linear trend variable

Moving Data to/from Files

CLOSE Closes a data or output file DBCOMP Compresses a databank DBCONV Converts an old databank to current format DBCOPY Converts TSP databank to portable format DBDEL Deletes variables from a databank DBDUMP Prints debug information on current databanks DBLIST Shows contents of TSP databanks DBPRINT Prints all series in a TSP databank FETCH Reads microTSP format databank files IN Search TSP databanks INPUT Reads TSP commands from an external file KEEP Marks variables for storage on a TSP databank OUT Causes automatic storage of new variables in databanks listed OUTPUT Directs output to a file instead of the screen READ Reads data from a file or from the command stream RECOVER Recovers lost program from INDX.TMP file RESTORE Restores TSP variables from a SAVE file SAVE Saves all current variables in a file STORE Writes microTSP-format databank files TERMINALRedirects output to screen instead of to file WRITE Writes data to a file or to the screen/printout Format Formats for READ/WRITE (Fortran style)

Control Flow

CLEAR Restarts interactive TSP, without saving backup file COLLECT Collect a group of TSP commands to execute DO Loops over range of values or group statements DOT Loops over list of names, substituting current name for . (period) ELSE Part of IF/THEN/ELSE control block END Terminates TSP program or data section ENDDO Terminates a DO loop ENDDOT Terminates a DOT loop ENDPROC Terminates a PROC EXEC Executes (or re-execute) a range of lines EXIT Terminates current mode GOTO Transfers control to a new line IF Part of IF/THEN/ELSE control block LOCAL Marks variables as local to a PROC PROC Defines a user procedure QUIT Stops TSP STOP Stops TSP THEN Part of IF/THEN/ELSE conditional structure

Editing Commands and/or Data

ADD Adds a list of arguments to the previous command and re-executes it DROP Drops argument(s) from the previous command and re-executes it EDIT Simple command editor ENTER Interactive data input with prompting RETRY Edits previous command and reexecutes it UPDATE Replaces observations of a series

Display and Diagnostics

ASMBUG Prints debug output during parsing of TSP input COMPRESSRemoves deleted or internal variables and frees up working space DATE Prints the current time and date, or stores elapsed seconds in scalar DEBUG Prints debug output during execution of TSP commands DIR List contents of disk directory DOC Adds documentation/descriptions to variables DUMP Prints internal TSP common blocks FIND Lists all lines containing a given command GRAPH Graphs one series against another GRAPH Graphs one series against another (PC/Mac) HELP Command descriptions and syntax summaries HELPR Information from TSP 4.0 Reference Manual (VAX/VMS only) HIST Produces histograms (frequency distributions) of series NAME Puts jobname and title into output page headers NOPAUSE Turns interactive output paging/pausing off PAGE Starts a new page in printout PAUSE Turns interactive output paging/pausing on PLOT Plots several series against time PLOT Plots several series against time (PC/Mac) REVIEW Lists range of TSP command lines SHOW Lists info on variables by type SYMTAB Debug version of SHOW SYSTEM Temporary exit to operating system without losing TSP session TITLE Print a string in page header or with stars TSTATS Prints a table of names, coefficients, and t-ratios USER User-programmable command (calls USER subroutine)
