Case files may be individual documents that have information about a single unit of analysis. Use field 565 for the number of cases or variables making up the file. This information, in conjunction with the number of logical records recorded in field 256, provides an indication of the extent of the file. First indicator Controls print constants that could be used by the print program. However, field 565 does not print.
