=head1 PROGRAMMER'S INTERFACE
The subroutines in this package return zero or unref on error.
When errors occur, a string describing the error is written
to C<$PSPP::errstr>.

};
package PSPP::Dict;
=pod
=head2 PSPP::Dict::new

Contains constants used to denote variable format types.
The identifiers are the same as those used in pspp to denote formats.
For example C<PSPP::Fmt::F> defines floating point format, and
C<PSPP::Fmt::A> denotes string format.

package PSPP::Var;
=head3 new ($dict, $name, %input_fmt)
Creates and returns a new variable in the dictionary C<dict>. The
new variable will have the name C<name>.
The input format is set by the C<input_fmt> parameter
(See L</PSPP::Fmt>).
By default, the write and print formats are the same as the input format.
The write and print formats may be changed (See L</set_write_format>),
L</set_print_format>). The input format may not be changed after
the variable has been created.
If the variable cannot be created, undef is returned.
=cut
sub new
{
my $class = shift;
my $dict = shift;

if ( ref $self )
{
bless ($self, $class);
}
return $self;
}
=pod
=head3 set_label ($label)
Sets the variable label to C<label>.
=cut
=pod
=head3 set_write_format (%fmt)
Sets the write format to C<fmt>. <fmt> is a hash containing the keys:
=over 2
=item FMT
A constant denoting the format type. See L</PSPP::Fmt>.
=item decimals
An integer denoting the number of decimal places for the format.
=item width
An integer denoting the width of the format.
=back
On error the subroutine returns zero.
=cut
sub set_write_format
{
my $var = shift;
my %format = @_;
pxs_set_write_format ($var, \%format);
}
=pod
=head3 set_print_format (%fmt)
Sets the print format to C<fmt>.
On error the subroutine returns zero.
=cut
sub set_print_format
{
my $var = shift;
my %format = @_;
pxs_set_print_format ($var, \%format);
}
=pod
=head3 get_write_format ()
Returns a reference to a hash containing the write format for the variable.
=head3 get_print_format ()
Returns a reference to a hash containing the print format for the variable.
=head3 set_output_format (%fmt)
Sets the write and print formats to C<fmt>. This is the same as
calling set_write_format followed by set_print_format.
On error the subroutine returns zero.
=cut
sub set_output_format
{
my $var = shift;
my %format = @_;
pxs_set_output_format ($var, \%format);
}
=pod
=head3 clear_value_labels ()
Removes all value labels from the variable.
=cut
=pod
=head3 add_value_label ($key, $label)
Adds the value label C<label> to the variable for the value C<key>.
On error the subroutine returns zero.
=head3 add_value_labels (@array)
=cut
sub add_value_labels
{
my $var = shift;
my %values = @_;
my @li;
my $n = 0;
while ( @li = each %values )
{
if ( $var->add_value_label ($li[0], "$li[1]") )
{
$n++;
}
}
return $n;
}
=pod
=head3 set_value_labels ($key, $value)
C<Set_value_labels> is identical to calling L</clear_value_labels>
followed by L</add_value_labels>.
On error the subroutine returns zero.
=cut
sub set_value_labels
{
my $self = shift;
my %labels = @_;
$self->clear_value_labels () ;
$self->add_value_labels (%labels);
}
=pod
=head3 set_missing_values ($val1 [, $val2[, $val3] ])
Sets the missing values for the variable.
No more than three missing values may be specified.
=head3 get_attributes()
Returns a reference to a hash of the custom variable attributes.
Each value of the hash is a reference to an array containing the
attribute values.
=head3 get_name ()
Returns the name of the variable.
=head3 get_label ()
Returns the label of the variable or undef if there is no label.
=head3 get_value_labels ()
Returns a reference to a hash containing the value labels for the variable.
The hash is keyed by data values which correpond to the labels.
=cut
package PSPP::Sysfile;
=pod
=head2 PSPP::Sysfile
=head3 new ($filename, $dict [,%opts])
Creates a new system file from the dictionary C<dict>. The file will
be written to the file called C<filename>.
C<opt>, if specified, is a hash containing optional parameters for the
system file. Currently, the only supported parameter is
C<compress>. If C<compress> is non zero, then the system file written
will be in the compressed format.
On error, undef is returned.
=head3 append_case (@case)
Appends a case to the system file.
C<Case> is an array of scalars, each of which are the values of
the variables in the dictionary corresponding to the system file.
The special value C<PSPP::SYSMIS> may be used to indicate that a value
is system missing.
If the array contains less elements than variables in the dictionary,
remaining values will be set to system missing.
=cut
sub new
{
my $class = shift;
my $filename = shift;
my $dict = shift;
my $opts = shift;
my $self = pxs_create_sysfile ($filename, $dict, $opts);
if ( ref $self )
{
bless ($self, $class);
}
return $self;
}
=pod
=head3 close ()
Closes the system file.
This subroutine closes the system file and flushes it to disk. No
further cases may be written once the file has been closed.
The system file will be automatically closed when it goes out of scope.
=cut
package PSPP::Reader;
=pod
=head2 PSPP::Reader
=cut
sub open
{
my $class = shift;
my $filename = shift;
my $self = pxs_open_sysfile ($filename);
if ( ref $self )
{
bless ($self, $class);
}
return $self;
}
=pod
=head3 open ($filename)
Opens a system file for reading.
Open is used to read data from an existing system file.
It creates and returns a PSPP::Reader object which can be used to read
data and dictionary information from C<filename>.
=cut
sub get_dict
{
my $reader = shift;
my $dict = pxs_get_dict ($reader);
bless ($dict, "PSPP::Dict");
return $dict;
}
=pod
=head3 get_dict ()
Returns the dictionary associated with the reader.
=head3 get_next_case ()
Retrieves the next case from the reader.
This method returns an array of scalars, each of which are the values of
the data in the system file.
The first call to C<get_next_case> after C<open> has been called retrieves
the first case in the system file. Each subsequent call retrieves the next
case. If there are no more cases to be read, the function returns an empty
list.
If the case contains system missing values, these values are set to the
empty string.
=head2 Miscellaneous subroutines
The following subroutines provide (hopefully) useful information about the
values retrieved from a reader.
=head3 PSPP::format_value ($value, $variable)
Returns a scalar containing a string representing C<value> formatted according
to the print format of C<variable>.
In the most common ussage, C<value> should be a value of C<variable>.
=head3 PSPP::value_is_missing ($value, $variable)
Returns non-zero if C<value> is either system missing, or if it matches the
user missing criteria for C<variable>.
