ASPECT AND STATISTICS

[Volkmaniac]

I wasn't sure if aspect had this capability but I was hoping someone might have attempted this before. Can aspect perform any statistical calculations? I use ProComm to do PICKS off files. I need to compile a list and then segment those lists based off a score that's contained within a field in the file. Let's say the scores are from 0 to 100. I need to compile the list and then assign them a variable (or list name) based on their score stratification. In other words, I need to assign the top 20% as A, the next 20% as B, the next 20% as C and so on based off their scores. Can this be done?

I don't see why this couldn't be done, but there is no out of the box way to do this in ASPECT. You would need to write a sort routine, then determine where the boundaries for each score.
