INCLUDE Instruction

INCLUDE( options ) fileseries series start end comments

INCLUDE is rarely used, and thus is no longer documented in the Reference Manual. Includes (adds) a series to a RATS data file. Use STORE to include many series at once (with less control over options).

Wizard

You can also store series in RATS format files using the mouse. First, open or create a RATS format file using File—Open RATS or File—New. Then, do View—Series Window to display a list of the series in memory, and drag and drop the desired series from this window onto the RATS Data File window.

Parameters

fileseries	name to assign the series on the data file
series	series to save to the file, defaults to file series
start, end	range to save, defaults to range of source
comments	residuals series, defaults to 0

Options

COMMENTS=STRING or VECT[STRINGS] containing comments [no comments]

Use this option if you want to add comments describing the series. You can add up to two (80 character) comments to a series.
