Is there a standard location for placing the stats path in the program?
After the mode/manual?
Before the mode/dcc?
Before or after the tracefields?
I occasionally have problems with stat collection and I've already tried deleting xstats11
The only requirement is that it is BEFORE the first dimension you want to send to the stats. As for the best place? Not sure if there is one, I have put it in several different places, the most common is right after the alignment, wether the alignment is in the program or it is a recalled external alignment file.
I put stats command right after the format/text command.
then use operator comments to fill in the trace fields
FORMAT/TEXT,OPTIONS, ,HEADINGS,SYMBOLS, ;MEAS,NOM,TOL,DEV,OUTTOL, ,
STATS/ON,DATAPAGE,$
DIRECTORY=C:\DATAPAGE V3.33\aaafront,$
DIRECTORY=,$
READ=10,WRITE=20,MEMPAGES=4,DIMENSION NAME,CONTROLCALC OFF,$
STATS/END
COM_SERIAL =COMMENT/INPUT,YES,'Input Serial#'
COM_LOT =COMMENT/INPUT,YES,'Input Lot#'
COM_SUPLR =COMMENT/INPUT,YES,'Input Supplier'
COM_PBS =COMMENT/INPUT,YES,'Input PBS# or PO#'
COMMENT/REPT,
TRACEFIELD/NO_DISPLAY,LIMIT=15 ; Serial# : COM_SERIAL.INPUT
TRACEFIELD/NO_DISPLAY,LIMIT=15 ; Lot# : COM_LOT.INPUT
TRACEFIELD/NO_DISPLAY,LIMIT=15 ; supplier : COM_SUPLR.INPUT
TRACEFIELD/NO_DISPLAY,LIMIT=15 ; PBS or PO : COM_PBS.INPUT
Thank you very much. Now, the next question...
I set the edit/preferences/dimension to "always update database".
Is it necessary to have a "stats/update" line in the program?
