Using STADEV with C/C++
Creating a new file

This example creates a new STATISTICA data file with 10 variables and 10 cases and fills it with random numbers.

Note that to use STADEV from C/C++ you must include the Development Environment include file ( #include "stadev.h" ) into the source file where you will call the library functions; call the desired functions,and link stadev.dll (for 16-bit programs) or stadev32.dll (for 32-bit programs) to your program.

   HSTAFILE handle = StaCreateFile (10, 10, "c:\\stat\\files\\newdata.sta");
   if ( handle == 0 ) {
      MessageBox (NULL, "Cannot create STATISTICA file !!!", "Error", MB_OK);
      return;
   }
   // change names of 3 first variables:
   StaSetVarName (handle, 1, "ABC");
   StaSetVarName (handle, 2, "MIDDLE");
   StaSetVarName (handle, 3, "XYZ");
   // fill the file with random numbers:
   srand( (unsigned)time( NULL ) );
   for ( short i=1; i <= 10; i++ )
      for ( long j=1; j <= 10; j++ )
         StaSetData (handle, i, j, rand());
   StaCloseFile (handle);
