setGroup Statement

Added: build 1

Purpose

Enables FileWrapper components to use the Analysis Server's group properties for hierarchical organization for input/output variables.

Applicability

The setGroup statement can be used within RowFieldInputFile and RowFieldOutputFile sections.

Additional Information

Variables defined after one of these statements are placed into the specified group until another setGroup statement is issued. In order to organize the groups hierarchically, the user should use a dot syntax to specify new subgroups.
The group can be reset to the global group (no group) using:

 
setGroup ""

Syntax

setGroup <string>

Arguments

Name	Description
string	The name of the group to insert subsequently defined variables. Use periods to delineate subgroups.

Example

The user would like two groups, pump and heatExchanger, along with a variable not included in any group, numberOfComponents. Each group will have a variable, reliefPressure, and a sub-group called materials. The code needed to establish these relationships is shown below.

#          name                type  row  field 
variable:  numberOfComponents  int   1    1 

  
#          name                type  row  field 
setGroup "pump" 
variable:  reliefPressure      int   2    1 
setGroup "pump.materials" 
... 
  
 
#          name                type  row  field 
setGroup "heatExchanger" 
variable:  reliefPressure      int   3    2 
setGroup "heatExchanger.materials" 
...
