DAS is not PAS!!!DAS is not PAS!!!• In PAS…
– The rows are individual institutions– User defines the columns by selecting other IPEDS
variables
• The DAS…– Is a table generator– Which produces aggregated data– The user creates or modifies table parameter files (TPFs)
by tagging: • Row variables• Column variables and specifying• Spanner variables, Filters, etc.

Steps for Creating a TableSteps for Creating a Table
• Specify row variables
• Specify column variables
• Specify qualifying values, if necessary
• Run the resulting table parameter file (TPF)
The process of selecting your variables is
called “tagging.” A tag tells DASOL how to
use each variable in building the table.

DAS Online Exercise #1DAS Online Exercise #1
The first exercise shows you how to create a simple table of total headcount enrollment by Carnegie Classification and save the table parameter file (TPF) to your drive.
The top section of your report shows total headcount enrollment by Carnegie Classification, and the bottom section shows the number of schools in each classification.
