When you view a tabular input file (for example, a DTIF file),
the file format first undergoes an automatic domain conversion
from a table format to the DDIF format. The output is then
displayed on your screen.
To help ensure minimal format and content changes when the
tabular file is processed for display, you can create an options
file containing processing options that apply to any CDA-
supported tabular file format. Data tables and spreadsheets are
examples of tabular file formats.
In the options file, type the DTIF_TO_DDIF format name, followed
by the processing options described here. Specify the DTIF_TO_
DDIF processing options in addition to the processing options for
a particular tabular input file format.
