SECTION 4. SPLIT
4-18
outputs as elements (e.g., Avg (3..5,7)
will output 4 averages).
•
Square brackets are used to enclose an
allowable range for a value (e.g.,
3[3.6..12] indicates that the allowable
range for element 3 is from 3.6 to 12).
Whole numbers within brackets do not
require a decimal point. Table 4.3-5
explains how Out of Range values are
treated.
•
The count in a Time Series function is
optional and does not require a decimal
point.
•
Semicolons are used in Time Series
functions to separate the elements or
expressions from the count which
determines the interval. Sample on
maximum and sample on minimum
require two elements or expressions
also separated by a semicolon.
4.3.7 HEADINGS FOR REPORT:
A report heading can be entered here to be
output to a printer or .RPT file (OUTPUT line
options /P and /R, respectively). Headings are
never included in the standard output to disk
(.PRN or user named extension OUTPUT file).
A report heading is required before column
headings can be entered. A report heading can
have several lines but is limited to a total of 255
characters including backslashes and carriage
returns. '/' denotes a new heading line for the
report. SPLIT will ask for column headings only
if the user enters a report heading name.
Time Series functions have a Final Summary at
the end of the report (Section 4.3.6). Final
Summaries may be titled by entering a
semicolon (;) on the HEADINGS for report line,
followed by the Final Summary title. Time
Series Interval Summaries cannot have
individual titles.
'PCDATE' within the HEADING for report, text
inserts, the computer's current date (Month-
Day-Year). To get the European format enter
'PCEDATE', this would produce (Day-Month-
Year).
4.3.8 HEADINGS FOR COLUMN #
If a report Heading is specified, then SPLIT will
ask for column heading prompts for each
column specified in the SELECT parameter are
brought to the screen. These headings are
limited to a field width one less than the Output
field width. A '\' denotes a new line.
Column headings associated with Time Series
outputs are repeated for Final Summaries if a
title for the Final Summary is requested on the
headings for report line.
{:n} can be entered in the "HEADINGS for
column" line, where n represents the number of
digits to be output to the right of the decimal.
The value output will be rounded to the
specified number of digits. {:n} may be entered
anywhere in a particular column heading and is
specific to that column only.
4.4 HELP OPTION
When SPLIT is called from the DOS command
line, it enters the EDIT mode. In the EDIT
mode, the F1 key is used to get help on the
parameter line that the cursor is currently on.
The HELP messages explain the options
available and provide examples. The HELP
messages appear at the top of the screen. If
more information is available than is displayed
"<cont>" will show at the bottom of the
message. Press any key except ESC to
continue the message. If it is the end of the
message, the cursor will return to the parameter
being edited. The user can get out of the HELP
option at any time by pressing the ESC key.
4.5 EDITING COMMANDS
Cursor commands are similar to WordStar.
The commands are summarized below.
