Section 5. Split

For table based data files the timestamp is normally the first column and is a
quoted text string ("2002-02-26 10:30:00"). To display these timestamps in the
output you will need to change the column width for the first column to at least
24. If the column width is too small to accommodate the value output, the
string will be highlighted in red and preceded by an asterisk, with the words
“Bad Data” in the lower right corner when the file is processed.

To run Split, select RUN | GO. The hourly data will be split out and stored in
hourly.prn. The results are displayed on the screen as shown below.

When Split is running on large files, the line counters will update
only every 1000 lines.

NOTE

Close the Run window. If you wish to save this parameter file for future
reports, choose FILE | SAVE. The file will be saved with a .PAR extension.
