Ends the questionnaire or subparts of it.
Syntax
*END
Description
In general this command defines the end of the questionnaire or subparts of it. This command is also allowed under condition. With subparts a physical unconditional end is always required. The action of this command depends on the context. We distinguish the following:
- Termination of the questionnaire. The interview is marked as a successful interview. All data is stored to the appropriate files. In the T-file / Sample table record, if present, the response code for 'successful' is stored.
- Termination of the initial part (with the
*INIT command). An unconditional physical end is required. - Termination of a repetition block (
*REPEAT). If *END is used within a repetition block, the repetition will be ended. The current repetition and all not yet executed repetitions, if any, will not be executed.
