RE: [CTPP] CTPP2000 Part 1 State released (UPDATE)

by Srinivasan, Nanda

Dave et.al, The software allows you to BATCH PROCESS and EXPORT files into different formats - MS Excel, CSV, Text, D-Base, Shape, HTML, and ASCII. To do this, "Create a session" (as explained in your installation advice and question 9 on anticipating the CTPP). At the stage when you get a screen called "Open Session Table" click on cancel. Then click on File-Open Session Manager. Click on the session you just created, and then on Export. This option allows you to export ALL SELECTED TABLES into one of the formats (MS Excel, CSV, Text, D-Base, Shape, HTML, and ASCII). There are read me files associated with D-Base (Table name.dbt file), Shape (Table name.dbt), and ASCII. The other option is to order an ASCII file from Census Bureau (Contact Clara Reschovsky - Clara.a.reschovksy(a)census.gov) The rule of thumb I would use is: 1. If you are trying to browse a few tables, OR some numbers OR data quickly for one or a few TAZs, use the CTPP Access Tool. You can also use the software to make quick maps, summary reports etc. Although the software may not look intuitive in the beginning, it is VERY useful, and powerful once you get a hang of it. 2. If you are MORE COMFORTABLE looking at the data in other softwares, try exporting the tables as shown above. 3. If you are an EXPERT programmer, and are much more comfortable writing your own code, then order the flat ASCII files from Clara. As always, you are welcome to call me at 202-366-5021 for any help!

RE: [CTPP] CTPP2000 Part 1 State released (UPDATE)

Maybe you would prefer to have the zipped ASCII file of the entire dataset for your state. If so, please contact Clara Reschovsky at the Census Bureau, as noted in the prior email, and she will send it to you on CD. Chuck Purvis of MTC has made SAS programs for CTPP Part 1 available. I believe his email to the listserv was posted last week. If you only want one or two tables from Part 1, you should use the EXTRACT command in the CTPP Access Tool, and you can save your data to many different formats, including .csv, .dbf, .xls, etc. SAS is NOT one of the formats. -----Original Message----- From: hubsmtp.gwhub."dabrams(a)mrcog-nm.gov" [mailto:hubsmtp.gwhub."dabrams(a)mrcog-nm.gov"] Sent: Mon 8/4/2003 3:46 PM To: Murakami, Elaine; ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Cc: Subject: RE: [CTPP] CTPP2000 Part 1 State released (UPDATE) We have installed the CD for New Mexico.

Data Problem Fixed: MCD/County-to-MCD/County Worker Flow Files

by clara.a.reschovsky＠census.gov

MCD Flow users, I finally have some good news! We have the corrected MCD Flow files up on the internet site so you can use any of the files up on the website (see address below). If anybody has any questions or concerns, please let me know.

The Excel files sorted by Workplace MCD for MI, MN, NJ, NY, PA, and WI erroneously contain the residence sorted data. We have transmitted the correct files to replace the incorrect files on the internet and will let you know as soon as they are fixed. In the meantime, you can use the plain text file to get the workplace sort for these states. The only drawback is you will not be able to open these in Excel as they have too many records. If this will be a problem for you, please let me know. We do appologize for any inconvienience this may have caused.
