Rectangular File.
A physical file structure. A rectangular file is one which contains the
same number of card-images or the same
physical record length for each respondent or
unit of analysis . A Hierarchical
file can be stored in a rectangular file structure by storing all units
of analysis in a single physical record . For
instance, each record might contain one household unit, two family units,
and four person units for each family unit. This method of storage of
hierarchical files can be very inefficient in terms of storage space, but
can make the file easier to describe and work with.
