The PROCLIB.POINTS data set includes a unique four-character identification
number (EmployeeId) and bonus evaluations for each employee for each quarter
of the year (Q1-Q4). In the raw data, performance ratings are noted
with numbers and letters. The EVAL. informat converts the value
O to 4, the
value
S to 3, and so on. The raw data values 0 through 4 are read as themselves
because they are not referenced in the definition of the informat. Converting
the letter values to numbers makes it possible to calculate the total number
of bonus points for each employee for the year. TotalPoints is the total number
of bonus points.
