Section 10. Utilities

10.3.3.1.7 Ranges

Element numbers may be entered individually (e.g., 2,3,4,5,6,7), or, in groups
(e.g., 2..7) if sequential. Range limits (lower to upper boundary conditions)
may be placed on elements or groups of elements specified in the Select or
Copy lines. For example, 3[3.7..5],4..7[5..10] implies that element 3 is
selected only if it is between 3.7 and 5, inclusive, and elements 4,5,6, and 7
must be between 5 and 10, inclusive.

If range limits are used in the Select condition, when Split is run, any data
which are outside of the specified range will be highlighted according to the
options chosen for the output file. Table 10.3-5 summarizes what each option
produces on the screen and in the output file if out of range data are
encountered. This type of range testing is a quick way to identify data
problems.
