The datablock input form is shown below. 



It provides following functionalities:

  • General properties of the datablock - information is used for identifiers in the DATABLOCK keyword
    • Origin: Number of the first line - see -origin
    • Case Sensitive: Indicate if the labels of a row in a datablock are case-sensitive or insensitive when used in script functions - see -casesensitive
    • RowId: Dropdown box to select the column that serves as the row label - see -rowid
    • Export Row Id: Indicates that the values in the row id column are exported to a file. The file will be used to construct drowdown cells in the global variable table.
    • Info Id: Dropdown box to indicate a column that contains only information but no relevant values. The values from that column are not written in the  datablock, but are included in the input file as comments. The column can be used to add information on the values in the record (e.g. reference to a paper or report).
