Run Macro with Different Sets of Parameters, Stored as Data

*QUESTION:

*What I want to do is create a file that contains parameters that I can
use to create input files. 

*For instance, if everything was working 
correctly, I would be able to create 4 input files, each with the
parameters identified on each of the rows in the data file below.
*Therefore, the first input file would have 500 cases, a std. of 15, and
nv = 5.

*ANSWER posted to SPSSX-L by rlevesque@videotron.ca on 2001/05/21.
* The following does what is reequired without creating separate parameter files.

*////////////////////.
DEFINE !test2 (numsubs=!TOKENS(1) /sd=!TOKENS(1) /nv=!TOKENS(1))

INPUT PROGRAM.
VECTOR r(!nv,F8.2).
LOOP id = 1 TO !numsubs.
+ LOOP #cnt=1 TO !nv.
+ COMPUTE r(#cnt) = RV.NORMAL(1,!sd).
+ END LOOP.
END CASE.
END LOOP.
END FILE.
END INPUT PROGRAM.
EXECUTE.

CORRELATIONS r1 TO !CONCAT(r,!nv) / STATISTICS=DESCRIPTIVES.

!ENDDEFINE.
