Dynamic Subfile naming

[Pickering, John (NORBORD)]

You could do it all in Quiz if you don't mind reading the input file as many
times as there are users-ids! Pass through the input file first and generate
Quiz source as per previous suggestions something like the following for
each user-id. Then feed this source to Quiz. 

>access inputfile
>select if user-id = "xxxx"
>set subfile name xxxx 
>report summary all
>go
