Section 8. Working with Data Files on the PC

8.2.3.1.7 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 8-5 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.
