SECTION 4. SPLIT

4-15

The Crlf is placed after the
maximum temperature 67.33
so that the maximum RH is
on the next line.

Date(jd;y)

converts Julian day into a
calendar date in the form MM
DD; where jd = element
Julian day and y = containing
year. If the year is not
contained in the data set, a
year can be specified in the
'y' year location (i.e. 1987.0).
A decimal must be included
with the year. Date can be
used as the interval in a
Time Series function to
trigger a Time Series output
on the first day of each
month. For example,
Avg(3;Date(1;1987.0))
outputs the average
temperature for each month.
This option is useful when
the data set contains several
months of data and monthly
information is needed.
Examples:
Date(1;1987.0) =

6 27 (June 27 repeated
6 27 24 times)
6 27
6 28

Smpl(Date(1;1987.0);8) =

6 27 (June 27)
6 27 (June 27)
6 28 (June 28)

Edate(jd;y)

same as date (jd;y), except
form is DD MM.

"Label"

returns a comment in the

OUTPUT file. This is a
useful formatting function
when labels are desired on
the same line as the data.
The label includes anything
within the quote marks, the
quote marks are not output
but must be in the parameter
file. The label cannot exceed
the width of the output
column (default is eight
characters). A maximum of
thirty (30) labels are allowed
per SELECT line. Examples:

"Max Temp" =

Max Temp (outputs Max
Temp
Max Temp 24 times)
.
.
.
Max Temp

Smpl("8 hour ";8),Smpl("Max

Temp";8), Max(3;8) = 8 hour
Max Temp 58.56

8 hour Max Temp 63.75
8 hour Max Temp 67.33

This example samples the

labels called "8 hour" and
"Max Temp" and looks for a
Maximum temp for every 8
hour interval.

Line

returns the number of lines
written to the Output file
created by SPLIT. This
differs from the Count
function in that Count looks
at how many lines were read.
Examples: Line = 1 (1 line to

output file)
2 (2 lines
to output
file)
:
:

24 (24
lines to
output file)

Smpl(line;8) =

1 (line to
output file)
2 (lines to
output file)
3 (lines to
output file)

.PA

Sends a page break to the
printer or .RPT file.
Examples:
2, 3, Smpl (.PA;12) =100
