Title:
State energy data system [electronic resource] : (SEDS)
- Distribution Media: 5 1/4" floppy diskettes
- SuDoc Number: E3.42/5:
Abstract:
The State Energy Data System (SEDS) diskettes contain data from the
publication "State Energy Data Report 1992, Consumption Estimates"
DOE/EIA-0214(92). These data are cumulative from 1960. In addition
to the data files for the States in the Census Region, there are data
files for the United States. There are also three utility programs
which will format the data for use by two spreadsheet
and data base software products (see Appendix E and appendix F in the
documentation file).
Two files are included for each State: SEDSP.ZZ for SEDS
physical unit consumption and SEDSB.ZZ for SEDS Btu consumption,
where 'ZZ' is the State code (see appendix A). The records were
written in sort code order which is the order in which the data
are presented in Tables 12 through 323 of the State Energy Data
Report.
Extent of Collection: The distribution media contained DOS ASCII text
documentation and DOS ASCII CSV data files that can be read separately or
imported into statistical or database software. There are two DOS Lotus 123 files
(EXESEDS.WK1 and EXESEDS.WQ1) that contain macros which will import
the data files into Lotus or Quatro Pro worksheets. The DOS BASIC program
SEDSUTIL.BAS converts the SEDS files from the decade format with
four records per variable into a format with one record per
variable containing all 33 years (1960-1992).
Data Conversion:
Extraneous DOS ASCII characters were removed from the documentation and
data files. The "fixed" documentation file was saved with a .TXT file
extension and the "fixed" data files were saved with .CSV file
extensions. The DOS Lotus data tables cannot be converted because they
contain Lotus macros. For more information about data conversion, see
File Processing and Quality Control.
Minimum Software Requirements: (1) Software capable of reading ASCII
text files. (2) Statistical or database software capable of importing ASCII
CSV data files.
- ASCII text - text files can be read by most file viewers and
word processing software.
- ASCII data - text data files can be imported into most
statistical and database software. Data values may or may not
use separators. Common separators are commas (ASCII CSV), tabs
or spaces.
Files: DOS ASCII files contain carriage return characters. ASCII files do
not contain carriage return characters. For information about downloading these
files, see Downloading Tips.
