 Figure 3-31.  Alternate Input File Panel


Relative Importance has the ability to read data from CA MICS
files, or from non-CA MICS external SAS files.  The Alternate
Input File panel lets you specify non-CA MICS SAS files as
input data for a Relative Importance analysis.  You can
specify the SAS data set name and up to five SAS files to be
used as input to the analysis.  Note that the SAS data must
already be created.
