Controls whether to print the main dataset to the data output file (menu Eh) in order to provide output of values calculated during a run of psimpoll. The dataset may be in a form to be used immediately as psimpoll input (either with the data arranged in rows [one per taxon], or a single column), for input to WACALIB (Line et al 1994), or in a format that can be imported to a spreadsheet. It includes all changes made during the current psimpoll run (conversion of depths to ages, concentrations to accumulation rates, calculation of palynological richness and rates of change, sums calculated during conversion of TILIA raw data files to percentages).

If radiocarbon dates have been read from a TILIA raw data file, these will be written to a C14 file in the right format to be read in to psimpoll. However, an existing C14 file will not be over-written.

All output formats are text, so the resulting file can be examined in an editor to check the format.

Select `a' to toggle printing of a dataset between `on' and `off', and select `b' to determine the dataset type.
