Section 8. Working with Data Files on the PC

Note that the cursor in the

INPUT FILE(S) screen must be in valid paste area

(Copy or Select). If the cursor is in the File name box or in Start/Stop

condition, you will get the error message “Cannot Paste There”.

The Paste operation copied the numbers of each of the fields into the Select

box. Notice also that it pasted the Array ID into the copy condition: 1[60] tells

Split that in order to copy a line of data, the first value in that line must be 60.

Split uses the Array ID to discriminate between the hourly and daily data.

Now specify the Output File name. (Without one specified, Split will run and

display results but no output file will be created.) Click the

OUTPUT FILE

tab. Type in “hourly” for the name of the output file. By default, Split will use

the file extension “PRN”, creating the output file: hourly.prn. Depending upon

the option chosen in the “If File Exists then” list box, an existing PRN file may

be overwritten, appended to, or saved under a new name.

The Labels option from the toolbar can also assist in labeling the output values.

Once again, choose LABELS | USE FINAL STORAGE LABELS and select

array 60 and all the field names. This time move the cursor to Line 1 of the

first column of labels on the

OUTPUT FILE tab and press Paste. The labels

from the final storage file will be pasted into each of the columns. Split will

automatically break a label name into multiple rows at the “_” in a label name.
