temperatures by reading the tape twice and
running both files through SPLIT).
CAUTION: For the Match files option
to produce a correct Output File, the
differences between the two Input Files
can only be question marks. Both files
must have the same Start Condition or
the beginning of both files must be the
same.
Transpose file - Transposes the rows and
columns of the input file. Only one Input
File can be transposed at a time and no
Select options can be specified. A
maximum of 26 arrays are transposed per
pass of SPLIT.
To transpose a file containing more than 26
arrays, several passes are required.
Change the Output Filename and Start
Condition for each pass. SPLIT may then
be used to merge the multiple files.
No FF - Suppresses form feed and page
breaks to printer or .RPT file when a report
is generated.
Break arrays - This option breaks up the
Output Array into new arrays that are #+1
elements in each new array. SPLIT
automatically assigns an array ID number
equal to the first element in the first array.
Only one Input File may be specified. Start,
Stop, and Copy Conditions may be
specified, but the Select line must be left
blank.
3.3.6.2 Report Headings
A report is output to a printer or file with the
extension .RPT. Headings are not included in
the standard output to disk (.PRN or user
named extension output file). However, a report
can be labeled with a header by entering text
into the Report Heading field. A report heading
can have several lines, but it is limited to a total
of 255 characters including backslashes and
carriage returns. “\” denotes a new heading line
for the report.
When Time Series functions are used in the
Select field, they appear as a final summary at
the end of the report. They can be labeled by
entering a title into the Time Series Heading
field at the bottom of the Output File page.
Time Series interval summaries cannot be
assigned individual titles.
“PCDATE” within the Report Heading inserts
the computer's current date (Month-Day-Year).
For the European format (Day-Month-Year),
enter “PCEDATE”.
3.3.6.3 Column Headings
Up to three lines per column can be entered as
column headings. These headings are limited
to a length of one less than the Output field
width.
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.
The number of digits to report to the right of the
decimal point is entered in the Decimal field and
is unique for each column. The value output will
be rounded to the specified number of digits.
Leave this field blank if you do not want to round
the data to a specific number of digits.
3.4 HELP OPTION
On-line Help is available from any location in
SPLIT. Simply select the area of SPLIT in

brief on-the-fly Help. Place the cursor on the
area of SPLIT in question; after a moment a
brief description pops up.
3.5 EDITING COMMANDS
SPLIT supports the Windows Cut, Copy, and
Paste commands. Text from any field in SPLIT
or other Windows applications can be Cut,
Copied, or Pasted.
3.6 COMMAND LINE ENTRIES
Existing parameter files can be executed from a
Windows 95 or Windows NT command line
prompt using the executable file called
SPLITR.EXE. SPLITR.EXE is a Windows
program and cannot be executed from a
standard MS-DOS command line prompt
(therefore, it will not run from the Windows 3.1
MS-DOS prompt). If a parameter file named
"LOGAN" already exists, the command line
"SPLITR LOGAN/R" executes the parameter
file and returns to the command line prompt.
The /R switch alerts SplitR that it is running
