Set

This command is used to set some general features of the model or program behavior. The correct usage is

set <parameter>=<value> ... <parameter>=<value>

Only three parameters can be changed using "set". First, you can set the autoclose feature:

set autoclose=<yes/no>

If autoclose is set to yes, then the program will not prompt you during the course of executing the file. Second, you can set the partition that is in effect:

set partition=<partition id>

A valid partition ID is either a number or a partition name. This command enforces use of a specific partitioning of the data. When the program executes, a default partition (that may not divide the data at all) is created called "Default". You can always go back to the original or default partition by typing

set partition=default

or

set partition=1

Third, you can set the nowarnings feature:

set nowarnings=<yes/no>

If nowarnings is set to yes, then the program will not prompt you when overwriting an output file that is already present. If nowarnings=no (the default setting) then the program prompts the user before over-writing output files.

Fourth, you can set the quitonerror feature:

set quitonerror=<yes/no>

If quitonerror is set to yes, then the program will quit when an error is encountered, after printing an error message. If quitonerror=no (the default setting) then the program will wait for additional commands from the command line after printing the error message.
