Session Command Quick Reference

Using Session Commands

You can use session commands for submitting commands interactively in MINITAB, or you can use session and macro commands for building macros (See Global and Local Macros (%macros)). Submitting session commands directly into MINITAB requires typing the commands one of two places:

■ The Session window

■ The Command Line Editor

Session Window

■ Type commands at the MTB> prompt, subcommands at the SUBC> prompt, and data at the DATA> prompt.

■ By default, press e to execute a command and c+e to insert a blank line (these preferences can be changed).

■ If you are unable to type commands in the Session window, command language may be disabled. See Using Session Commands and Macros in MINITAB User’s Guide 1.

Blue text denotes commands, subcommands, and arguments new to MINITAB Release 13.

Command Line Editor

■ Open the Editor with c+L or Edit ➤ Command Line Editor.

■ Type commands at the cursor, then click Submit Commands to execute them.

■ You can also use, by default, c+e to execute a command and e to insert a blank line (these preferences can be changed).

■ Use the Command Line Editor to execute commands used previously in your session:

– Highlight commands in the Session window or History folder, then open the Command Line Editor. The highlighted commands appear in the editing window.

– Or, while the Session window or History folder is active, choose Edit ➤ Select All (c+A). When you open the Editor, all commands used in your current session will appear in the editing window. Since it is so easy to delete and edit commands in the editing window, this is a quick way to re-execute commands.

■ Press 3 to clear all commands.

■ You can cut, copy, and paste to and from the Command Line Editor, word processors, spreadsheets, and MINITAB windows—including the Data window.

NotationIn this Quick Reference, commands are left justified, subcommands are indented.K denotes a constant such as 8.3 or K14C denotes a column such as C12 or 'Height'E denotes either a constant or column, and sometimes a matrixM denotes a matrix such as M5[ ] denotes an optional argumentC…C means you can list one or more columns

Rules for Typing Commands■ You need only type the first four letters of any command. For %macros, type

% followed by the full macro name.

■ Start each command and subcommand on a new line.

■ To use a subcommand, end the line before it with a semi-colon (;). End the last subcommand with a period.For example: RANDOM 10 C1;

BINOMIAL 20 0.3.

■ Type the subcommand ABORT to cancel a multi-line session command.For example: RANDOM 10 C1;

BINOMIAL 20 0.3;ABORT.

■ Abbreviate lists of consecutive variables with a dash.For example: RANDOM 10 C1-C5

■ Enclose file names with double quotation marks. For example: SAVE "SALESQ1"

■ Enclose variable names with single quotation marks. For example: PLOT 'Sales'∗ 'Advertis'

■ Only type the commands and their arguments (K, C, E, or M as defined above). Text is for explanation only. For example, the syntax for the MEDIAN command is

MEDIAN of the values in C [put into K]This means that you could type either:

MEDIAN C1 to display the median of C1, orMEDIAN C1 K1 to display the median of C1 and store it in the constant K1

Interrupting CommandsTo stop the display of a command, press c+k.

Symbols∗ Missing Value Symbol. An ∗ can be used as data in READ, SET, and INSERT,

and in data files. Enclose the ∗ in single quotes in commands and subcommands.

# Comment Symbol. The symbol # anywhere on a line tells MINITAB to ignore the rest of the line.

& Continuation Symbol. To continue a command onto another line, end the first line with the symbol &.

Miscellaneous CommandsHELP explains MINITAB session commands, can be Help on a command

or a subcommand with its own subcommands

ABORT cancels a multi-line command without executing it

Character GraphsCharacter (or typewriter-style) graphs display in the Session window and do not use any of the graphics subcommands described previously. You can save character graphs by saving the Session window contents; to save, make the Session window active and choose File ➤ Save Window As.

In the Session window or Command Line Editor, type the command GSTD (standard graphics) to enable character graphs. To re-enable high-resolution (professional graphics) commands, type GPRO. DOTPLOT and STEM-AND-LEAF character graphs are available in GSTD and GPRO mode. When you produce graphs through the menus, MINITAB switches modes automatically.

Looping Through Columns and Matrices

Use the CK syntax to use a constant to specify a column number. If K1 = 3, then CK1 = C3; if K2 = 16, then CK2 = C16. Specify a matrix using the MK syntax. Here is an example of an Exec called PLOTS.MTB that uses CK:
