Purpose You can use Amos 4.0 as a component in thecomputer programs you write. It is a relativelyeasy process because Amos lets you work in ageneral-purpose programming language instead of having to learn some special language. To use Amos 4.0 with your program, you need to program in a language or environment that can control automation servers, e.g.,Microsoft Visual Basic, Microsoft C++, the SPSS scripting facility, SAS, DECVisual FORTRAN or Borland Delphi 1 . The program that you write can carry out a single Amos analysis, or multipleAmos analyses. It can also include statements that: • specify a model • give the location of data files • select options, such as: which discrepancy function to use, whether to obtainbootstrap confidence intervals, and so on. This section demonstrates in detail how you can call Amos 4.0 from the MicrosoftVisual Basic Professional Edition
