Because of their large size, many of the .prn table files contain two parts.  For 


these tables, the last row of data corresponds to the second set of series names, 


which appears part way down the spreadsheet array, not to the set on row 1. 






-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each of the files in atabs.zip, utabs.zip, and ltabs.zip begins with 1952:Q1 and ends with the most recently published quarter. The series in the supplemental tables (F.100.a and L.100.a) are in stabs.zip and contain annual data for 1988 through 1993. The debt growth file (gtabs.zip) contains data from 1953 forward; the data corresponds to tables D.1, D.2, and D.3 in the release. The balance sheet file (btabs.zip) contains quarterly data for 1952 through the last complete year published.

The data files were compressed with PKZIP, version 2.04; the software to expand the files is available from PKWARE's Web site.

Each file name contains the number of the table in that file. For example, the data for table F.117 (seasonally adjusted flows for life insurance companies) is in the file named atab117d.prn (the "d" identifies a DOS file).

Retrieving Tables from Downloaded Zip Files

To retrieve a table, enter the command pkunzip followed by (1) the name of the ".zip" file containing the compressed table and (2) the name of the table or tables desired.

For example:

• To retrieve the seasonally adjusted annual flows of table F.117, enter the following command (assuming the .zip file is on your C drive):
  C:>pkunzip atabs.zip atab117d.prn

• To retrieve the unadjusted quarterly flows of tables F.100 and F.105, enter the following command:
  C:>pkunzip utabs.zip utab100d.prn utab105d.prn

• To retrieve all the levels tables, enter the following command:
  C:>pkunzip ltabs.zip

Flow of Funds codes have the following elements:

1. a two-letter code (FA, FU, or FL), which identifies whether the series is a seasonally adjusted flow, an unadjusted flow, or a level
2. a nine-digit code, which represents sector; type of transaction; and type of adjustment, data source, or calculation
3. a one-letter code, which indicates the frequency (.q or .a).
